Leigh Losey has a wide musical repetoire that consists of her original songs as well as folk-rock, classic rock, alternative, alt-country covers and traditional Celtic songs. She has played venues such as The HotSpot Coffee Shoppe, Pirana Grille, The Book Store, Java Jungle, Coffee Bistro 101, Daily Grind Coffeehouse and Cafe, Cuvee Oceanside, and Bike Week/Biketoberfest venues, as a solo artist, as one-third of the local folk/country band Point in Time, as a backup singer in the recording studio and in collaboration with other local band musicians.
