Leona Burkey has been keeping it pretty close to the floor in the Canadian music scene for some 20 years as a singer/songwriter, host and entertainer. Influenced by the story song tradition and roots music coming from Canada’s East Coast, she has carried her guitar and notebook all around the country and back again gathering up an eclectic collection of dedicated fans along the way…with every performance as cozy and intimate as if you were sitting in her kitchen. Leona has one of those voices that doesn’t just sing the words, but draws listeners in with a subtle and honest emotional hook. A born raconteur, music is a conversation Leona loves making…life has been full, the notebooks are full and with her long-anticipated singer/songwriter debut recording, “The Margaret Marie EP”, she invites you to sit long and talk much. Or come out to sing loud and celebrate…depending on the night…
