Lorraine Leckie

In her early years, she was surrounded by the music of Neil Young and The Rolling Stones, but in the seventies she converted to punk rock, married Steve Leckie of The Viletones, and started her career as a makeup artist in the fashion industry.

Leckie earned her title as the Lower East Side folk noir troubadour playing venues such as Bowery Ballroom, Webster Hall & Mercury Lounge, often joined by her Rock band, Her Demons.

Receiving positive response: the Huffington Post called Leckie a "Noir folk rock goddess",[6] and No Depression characterized it as "A sonic rave-up worthy of Neil's Crazy Horse.

Critics responded favorably: both Modern Folk and New Canadian Music compared the chemistry between the two musicians to the rapport between Nick Cave and Warren Ellis, while the blog Days of Purple and Orange called it "utterly bewitching.

"[9] In 2018, Leckie released Live at Mercury Lounge NYC, the final concert played by drummer Paul Triff, who died shortly thereafter the show.
