On the outskirts of San Antonio, Texas lies Leon Creek: a small river that served as the first rest stop and watering hole for travelers, cargo, mail and stagecoaches making their way from Texas to Southern California in the 1850’s and 60’s. As Americana and country music moved west and absorbed the influences from the cultures and history, along the way it helped shape what we know today…
With the new band Leon Creek, a new project from Los Angeles-based singer/songwriter Chris Pierce, Matthew Stevens, and producer Erik Janson, a variety of influences converge to bring forth a new take on the traditional Americana/roots sound.
For Leon Creek, Pierce’s vocal and blues harmonica prowess are showcased in a new light, combining with the finger picking, bluegrass melodies of Matthew Stevens, who has previously recorded World and Cumbia inspired tracks with the likes of Ozomatli’s Asdru Sierra and rapper Thurz, resting perfectly on the vibrant and maximalist production talents of Erik Janson (of Wildling & Left Field Messiah fame).
This band of brothers have come together to reflect the broadening horizons of contemporary Americana/Country, Blues and Roots music, drawing from the influences from which the genres originated, while embracing eclectic and unexpected inspiration as well.
Today we’re thrilled to premiere the new track “Call It A Day” – streaming below! The track is the opening song on their debut album Far From Broken, out later this year. “Call It A Day” is a bouncy, hook-filled Americana gem. It’s the definition of “feel-good” and is an instant sing a long. Enjoy!
In their own words:
‘Call it a Day’ is a song that reaches out to all of the hard working folks out there trying to make sense of it all. With the lyrics and the overall feel of our song we hope that we can remind those who are struggling to make ends meet, to take some time to reflect and celebrate all of the hard work and the soulfulness within the grind fuels that struggle. It’s a song for all of us to sing and shout together as it speaks to fighting the good fight, then taking a step back to relax and reflect on life’s victories and defeats. – Chris Pierce
