Dariann Leigh Interview
By Big Al Weekley for Country Music News International Magazine & Radio Show
FOR DARIANN LEIGH, THIS IS SO MUCH MORE THAN COUNTRY MUSIC.
FROM HER ONE-STOP TOWN IN KARLSTAD, MINNESOTA (POPULATION 713),
DARIANN CAPTURED THE STAR POWER OF THE ORIGINAL WOMEN OF COUNTRY MUSIC. FROM LYRICS BLEEDING THROUGH STATIC-FILLED RADIOS AND SCRATCHED CDS;
EVEN IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE, THOSE MELODIES SET THE SCENE FOR A DREAM THAT WOULD ULTIMATELY DEFINE THE COURSE OF HER ENTIRE LIFE.
DARIANN LEIGH DOESN’T JUST WANT TO MAKE MUSIC, SHE WANTS TO WRITE THE SOUNDTRACK FOR HAIRBRUSH SINGERS, DASHBOARD DRUMMERS AND AIR GUITAR PLAYERS EVERYWHERE.
DARIANN LEIGH HAS BEEN FEATURED ON THE BOOT, COUNTRY REBEL, CMT, AND MORE WITH HER PREVIOUS SINGLE’S “CLOSER”, “LET ME GO”, “10,000 MILES”, AND MOST RECENTLY WITH HER NEW SINGLE “LEAVE”.
AS A KID,” SAYS LEIGH, “I REMEMBER CLOSING MY EYES, PLUGGING MY HEADPHONES IN AND LISTENING TO TRACKS THAT ENDED UP BEING THE THEME SONGS TO MY DAYDREAMS. I WANT TO BE THAT ARTIST FOR SOMEONE ELSE.”
