Celebrating culture through the documenting of sound and story.

The Leys are a newly founded acoustic trio playing covers and original songs of any genre and can be booked for performances. Please email to TheLeysBand@gmail.com

The members are:

Lesley Shannon is an actress and singer originally from Columbus, Mississippi. She has been performing since the age of 7 and studied music at the University of Southern Mississippi as well as acting at Stella Adler Studio in New York.

Brandon Hollely was born and raised in Lebanon, Pennsylvania and graduated with a BFA in sound engineering and now works at Dubway Studios in New York.
This husband and wife team met while recording and continue to work together creatively. They are both members of Secondhand Theater Company as well as the Leys.

Leyla Mesic is a performing artist and songwriter originally from Switzerland. She graduated from The American Musical Dramatic Academy NY in acting, voice and dance but also holds a teaching degree. She believes deeply in the power of music and therefore further extended her studies in sound healing and reiki.

Leyla and Lesley met while they were both working singers for another music project. 

“Understanding the order of time is important to anyone hoping to manifest a dream,” says Valerie June. “There is a time to push, and a time to gently tend the garden.”

Since the release of her 2013 breakout Pushin’ Against A Stone, June has been patiently at work in the garden of song, nurturing seedlings with love and care into the lush bloom that is her stunning new album, The Order Of Time. Some songs grew from seeds planted more than a decade ago, others blossomed overnight when she least expected them to, but every track bears the influence of time. See, time has been on June’s mind a lot lately. It’s the only constant in life, even though it’s constantly changing. It’s the healer of all wounds, the killer of all men. It’s at once infinite and finite, ever flowing with twists and turns and brutal, churning rapids that give way to serene stretches of placid tranquility. Fight against the current and it will knock you flat on your ass. Learn to read it, to speak its language, and it will carry you exactly where you’re meant to be.
