Leigh Marble's style of punk Americana blends the earthy grit of Tom Waits with Fugazi's high-wire intensity. Originally from New England, Leigh now calls Portland, OR home.
Live, Leigh plays with his band, featuring propulsive drumming from Jason Russell, supple organ and accordion work from Ben Macy, and a powerful bass grind from Jesse Emerson. Topped off by the cutting rhythms of Marble's amped-up acoustic guitar, it's a dynamic presentation of songs from a musician "at the head of Portland's singer-songwriter class" (Willamette Week).
