Paris to Melbourne with the Leigh Barker Band

Leigh Barker and Heather Stewart moved to Paris six years ago to create a new European base for their music, family and diverse projects. Now with TWO editions of his band, Leigh chose to record the two bands and release Two digital Albums (combined to create a single CD release!) They are PARIS and MELBOURNE

Leigh chatted online from Champagne-sur-Siene just before leaving for Australia to launch the two albums and undertake an Australian tour (Vic, NSW, ACT, SA, TAS) with his Melbourne band from November 14 – December 18, playing the classic sounds of the golden era of American Jazz – but with senses of Leigh’s Melbourne and Parisian bands.

Hear what Leigh had to say in this podcast from Bent Notes on JOY 94.9.
