“Tucson not only salutes Savage, we should be proud to have this wonderful artist calling Tucson her home. After all, she is somewhat of a local celebrity. She has had the honor of being the opening act for performers as Lonestar, Belinda Carlisle, Clay Walker, Kool and the Gang, The B-52′s, Eddie Money, Jefferson Starship, Blaine Larsen, to name just a few. This high-energy performing artist successfully performed in and around the western US since 1995 with a collection of high caliber of musicians. Making her home in Arizona, many of her bands were not only very popular with fellow Arizonans, but received high accolades such as several TAMMIES (Tucson Arizona Music Awards) for Best Band, Best Musician, Best Vocalist. In July 2010, LeeAnne went to Beaird Studios in Nashville, Tennesee and recorded all music tracks for her recently released CD, “To The N9nes”.”

With its expansive scope of family memories and Americana rock, "I'm Always With You" is a charming love letter from a young woman to her father—and the organ and banks of guitars work together to build emotional impact. The ballad "The Way You Got to Me" is a lush exploration of heady romance, while "Obsession" is a driving rave-up with subtle pop hooks. "Midwest Small Town" is another cut with the potential to become a crossover hit, in large part because of the catchy Mellencamp-style melody, an irresistible chorus. She gets to show off her voice, occasionally indulging in a soulful wai”
