About.
Leo Morshead is an English singer, songwriter/composer, guitarist and music tutor.
Drawing influence from past and present musicians from both sides of the Atlantic, Leo has followed his passion for Acoustic Roots, Blues, finger style, lap steel slide guitar and Dobro.
Leo’s music has been described as a soulful mix of warm husky vocals, intricate finger style guitar and shimmering lap steel slide guitar work, accompanying skilfully written songs, and tasteful arrangements of traditional material.
Leo has spent many years teaching guitar and performing live throughout the UK’s festival, pub and folk club scene, both in ensembles, and as a solo performer, and he is just as happy playing on the big stage as he is in the corner of a crowded pub.
