FREE, ALL AGES, ALL ARE WELCOME

Leabu is road-worn in a way that few would guess - born in California to a family of Texans. Fully emancipated at the age of 16, with his dad imprisoned on a bogus possession charge in Texas, he fell into that oldest of Los Angeles professions, acting in a bad soap opera and repeatedly crashing his motorcycle. And he wrote songs - hundreds of songs. His music is a fitting depiction of a musician who appears to have emerged fully-formed and confident in contrasts - muscular but intricate, howling but intimate - songs shot through with equal parts vulnerability and hopefulness.
