A soul-based, Zeppelin meets Chili Peppers with a larger than life female lead vocal, “Think Adele mixed with Mary J. Blige with a certain South Of The Mason-Dixon Line ache that’s all her own.” In the vein of Alabama Shakes and Black Keys... Add tenor-sax legend Ron Holloway, and Sweet Leda’s shows really should come with a Warning label.
