Release Notes:
LEANNE HARTE - No.1 Irish artist on Bebo Worldwide
Not so long out of her teens, yet Leanne Harte's
bio seems to read like an old seasoned Rock
musicians, and when you hear her debut album or see
her live, she damn well sounds like one too. And
why not! Leanne started singing and playing
acoustic guitar at the early age of eight. By
eleven Leanne penned and studio demoed her first
ten original songs which received some airplay on
Radio 1.
Shortly after that the scene was set, as Leanne
retreated to her garage complete with home studio,
electric guitar permanently strapped on her back,
stereo blaring loudly as she discovered the
wonderful world of jamming along with her idols Led
Zeppelin, Rory Gallagher, Neil Young, and Jimi
Hendrix.
A quick glance at this young Irish musician's My
Space or Bebo pages reveals a further lengthy list
of her current influences. Together with her idols
listed above, Ms Harte also sites Tori Amos, Aimee
Mann, Jeff Buckley, Joni Mitchell, Metric, Joanna
Newsom, Ani DiFranco, Heart, Rufus Wainwright,
Angelo Badalamenti, Patti Smith, Pearl Jam, Robert
Plant, Smashing Pumpkins, Martha Wainwright, KT
Tunstall, The Police, Fleetwood Mac, Jan Akkerman,
Thin Lizzy, AC/DC, Pink Floyd, PJ Harvey, The
Beatles, Fiona Apple, Melissa Etheridge, No Doubt,
Ozzy Osbourne, Black Sabbath, Tegan and Sara,
Alanis Morissette, Buffalo Springfield, Focus, Joan
Armatrading, Alice in Chains, David Bowie, Leonard
Cohen, The Cure, Nick Drake, Deep Purple, Faith No
More, Free, Janis Joplin, Nine Inch Nails, Pixies,
Pretenders, Soundgarden, Johnny Cash, Willy Mason,
The Murmurs, Concrete Blonde, Sinead O'Connor,
Bjork, Blondie, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Elliot Smith,
Nickel Creek, The Organ, Sonic Youth, The Mars
Volta, and Johnny Cash.
At sixteen Leanne signed a Management and
Independent record deal, formed her first band, and
recorded her critically acclaimed debut EP
"Eradication" featuring five original tracks. The
EP was recorded in Sun Studios, Dublin. Released on
the True Talent Label and the experienced Paul
Thomas was brought in to engineer "The man who
engineered the first three U2 albums and worked
with Phil Lynott to name but a few". The production
seat was filled by Irish guitarist Aimon (ex.
Samuel Eddy) who worked with the late great Rory
Gallagher, Nils Lofgren and more.
The EP sold over 3,000 copies and received rave
reviews across the board gaining favourable press,
national radio play and live appearances on
Sattitude, and The CafΘ on RTE 1 and on Ireland AM
on TV3. But most importantly Leanne's EP gained her
favourable attention and respect amongst her young
Rock contemporaries, as her live energetic stage
performances (featuring her live backing band, top
Irish rhythm section "The Well Worn Routine")
continue to raise many an eyebrow at some of
Europe's finest music venues. After witnessing
Leanne in action, it becomes quite clear why Leanne
at just sixteen became the youngest Irish artist
ever to receive an International Guitar Endorsement
Deal.
At only nineteen Leanne went to London and Wales to
record her nine track debut album "Leanne Harte"
with legendary Rock producer Chris Tsangarides
(Thin Lizzy, Black Sabbath, Free, Joan Armatrading,
Depeche Mode ) Leanne recorded the album with Irish
guitar legend Gary Moore's backing band, Jon Noyce
(Jethro Tull, Gary Moore) on bass and Darrin Mooney
(Primal Scream, Gary Moore) on drums and
percussion. This album simply has the potential to
become a Classic debut and at Twenty Leanne
recorded her first solo acoustic album live in
Paris due for release in April 2007.
So the next batch of teenage hopefuls that queues
up for their fifteen minuets of fame on reality TV
shows, etc.Spare a thought for Leanne Harte the
girl from Sutton, Dublin that has point blankly
refused to do play back on National TV. A girl that
knows exactly what she wants in her music and how
to deliver it. A real musician and one that frowns
at the thought of ever becoming a one hit wonder.
Hell No! Leanne Harte is an artist, musician,
singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist
because it's in her blood. She's in Rock'n Roll for
the long haul and most importantly, Leanne Harte
has got what it takes to one day become a living
legend ù something that cannot be manufactured!
