Days Ahead

Daysahead has shared bills with national and international recording artists such as Al Green, Roy Ayers, Angie Stone, and many jam bands. They perform numerous music festivals & venue/club dates throughout the US. The band was featured on the Capital Jazz SuperCruise in September 2008 with Earl Klugh, Rachelle Ferrell, Gerald Albright, Will Downing, Patti Austin, Michael Franks, The Brand New Heavies, Ledisi, Fertile Ground, and a host of artists. Daysahead is a talented duo consisting of guitarist/producer/songwriter Steve Wright (Richmond, VA) and vocalist/lyricist/songwriter Kim Leachman (Baton Rouge, LA). Their debut cd, Turning Point, features Wright's “electric guitar as the musical centerpiece” with Leachman's “wonderfully smokey-voice on top”. The common theme is strong instrumentation and the “live” feel of the performance. “It is the combination of Kim's impressive command of that indefinable voice that goes from gospel, to soul, to jazz and to rock in a seconds notice, and the dexterity of Steve's guitar playing. Who knew such sounds, textures, and imagination could come from just six strings. Daysahead is all about chemistry; that often times elusive element that makes everything come together.” RockWired
