show moreAnne Leighton has been a pauper, poet, publicist, and a self-proclaimed princess! That’s because she wears lots of hats.
She handles music services/publicity for a variety of musicians. Her roster includes Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull), Phoebe Legere, Michael Veitch, Tempest, Firefall, Orleans/John Hall, Sharon Katz & the Peace Train, and Joe Deninzon & Stratospheerius (who she also manages)!
Also on her roster is Anne’s alter ego, Bronx Buffalo, who does spoken word including rap. Anne and Bronx are fundraising a new EP and album about evolution. (Anne grew up, in part, in Fredonia--where she went to college-- and in Buffalo--where she worked in commercial radio. She's championed a number of Buffalo musicians--most notably Kiss This, Talas & Billy Sheehan, the GooGoo Dolls, Jessie Galante....)
Anne has performed at prestigious venues including the Nuyorican Cafe, SUNY Fredonia, and Peter Max’s Art Studio. She reads and performs poetry gigs.
Her most recent book is poetry: THE LEIGHTON EXPLOSION (Soul Asylum, Canada). Other books: the self-published e-book GET THE GIG: COMMON SENSE CONSULTING, PAWS FOR THOUGHT: HOW TO UNDERSTAND WHAT YOUR CAT IS THINKING (Rockwell Books, UK), and USING YOUR ART AND THE MEDIA TO COMFORT PEOPLE (Free to Run, USA).
She’s a songwriter, recently signed to Sheer Music Publishing in South Africa. In addition to working with Sharon Katz, Anne’s championed a number of South African artists, notably Jann Klose, Wouter Kellerman, PJ Powers.
Thom and Anne have an open discussion about activism, Buffalo NY and a whole lot more!
