Dividing life between full-time careers as mother, activist and musician, Leigh Ann Yost has multi-tasking down to an art. Literally. Her highly anticipated sophomore album, “As I Live and Breathe” will officially be released by sonaBLAST! Records in December 2011. Whether it’s part of an explosive nightclub set past midnight, a fundraiser at a sun-dappled park or a road trip with a soundtrack to go –her music has become a part of the emotional and social landscape of Louisville, Kentucky. Signing with sonaBLAST! sets the lauded, aggressive and singer-songwriter onto yet another path.
“Basic Needs,” her first self-released work, was mentioned in Louisville Magazine as one of the Top Five regionally recorded and produced records of 2006 by Laura Shine, Music Director at WFPK Radio Louisville, who quipped “… ‘Basic Needs’ by Leigh Ann Yost was an immediate add to our playlist–it blew me away! Excellent production, superb songwriting and musicianship and deliriously good vocals. This album is a must have!”
