Leslie McClure is a singer / songwriter from Nashville, Tennessee. She and her father, John McClure, have been performing music together since her childhood when they played in various bars and restaurants around Louisville, KY. As a student at Belmont University, she studied abroad in Santiago de Compostela, Spain, and the following year (2006) released the CD “The Santiago Set,” inspired by her experiences abroad. Since then, Leslie and her father have put together the CD “Back Home to You,” complete with 12 songs ranging from bluegrass to blues. Of the 12 songs on the CD, Leslie wrote 6, including two songs (Fala and La Hora), which are completely in Portuguese and Spanish, respectively. Leslie McClure is now a graduate student in the Latin American Studies program at Vanderbilt University, and incorporates much of what she learned in her travels to South America into her songs and musical style. John McClure accompanies Leslie on the entire album, playing everything from guitar to papoose, and also recorded, mixed and mastered the entire CD. All of the money from CD sales will be donated to various hunger programs in Nashville, TN. Reviewing the 2006 Telluride Bluegrass Festival, Journalist John Zurek, in Issue 29 of Positive Feedback Online: A Creative Forum for the Audio Arts http://positive-feedback.com/Issue26/bluegrass.htm wrote:"Not all the great performers were on the main stage. Throughout the campgrounds you could hear music, guitars, banjos. mandolins, and occasional djembe. Lot's of jamming, some local groups trying to drum up interest and hawk their CDs. I was lucky enough to be camped very close to a true talent. Every day we were graced with wonderful songs from Leslie McClure, a student at Nashville's Belmont University. This gal has the stuff, and quite frankly put some of the performers on the main stage to shame, much less the amateurs that were vying for top spot in the contest the festival holds every year...she was one of this year's highlights for the Warner Field crowd."
