Leah Mason, Maggie Mae's Gibson Room, Friday 14 March 2014, SXSW 2014

A fantastic way to end Friday night at SXSW. Leah is a phenomenal guitar player with a great voice reminiscent in a way of Bonnie Raitt. Accompanied by her band she rocked out a bluesy set that got us moving our feet. 
The guitar licks ran through some great songs that she'd written, including a couple she'd written in Nashville two years ago that are hopefully coming out soon. We caught the name of one of these, Riot Pony, which would be worth looking up. 
The treat for the audience was that she was joined by the songs' co-writer, Brendan Benson, but the final song came around far too soon, just as we were settling in for a night of husky blues rock.
