Channelled through her raw and honest vocals, Leanne Lightfoot’s songwriting reveals the joys and sorrows of life-lessons, and the emotions she knows intimately: matters of the heart, the call of land, and the bonds that bind one to another.  Adeptly and gently, she leads listeners on emotional journeys with her song-stories, some from her life, some from other’s lives.

Her February 2025 album - Still Knowing, recorded analog on a vintage Neve board in Bragg Creek, AB and produced by Leanne and Rob Bartlett is, according to Stevie Connors of The Sound Cafe;  ‘a soul stirring triumph, an album that doesn’t just ask to be heard - it asks to be felt’.
