Leslie Satcher

 

At the age of 26, fifth-generation Texan Leslie Satcher moved to Nashville in pursuit of a singing career and was quickly recognized for her gift with lyrics and melody. After being mentored by many of the music industry’s legendary songwriters at a smaller publisher, she made the move to Sony Music Publishing, where she would stay for nearly 15 years. During this time, she was also signed as an artist at Warner Brothers. While recording her critically acclaimed debut album, “Love Letters,” her songs were growing in demand.

Though Leslie is primarily known as a country singer and songwriter, her talents span all genres. She has written or co-written songs recorded by everyone from Willie Nelson to Jason Aldean; Vince Gill to Sheila E.; George Strait to Sheryl Crow; Martina McBride to Keb’Mo; Blake Shelton to Bonnie Raitt; and many more. She has received multiple BMI “Million-Air” awards, which recognize a song’s one millionth airplay, and her incomparable vocals have contributed to an astounding number of Grammy, CMA & ACM award-winning projects.

Leslie’s next two albums, “Creation” and “Gypsy Boots,” were recorded independently and truly exhibit the diversity of her Texas roots and Delta soul. Her most recent release, “2 Days In Muscle Shoals,” features her All-Star band, “The Electric Honey Badgers,” and includes vocals by Vince Gill, Sheryl Crow, Trisha Yearwood and more. This amazing project landed her on the First-Round GRAMMY ballot in multiple categories for the 2018 and 2019 awards seasons. Recently, Leslie has seen her songs recorded by the likes of Reba McEntire; Sheryl Crow featuring Maren Morris; Stevie Nicks and Joe Walsh; fellow Texan Cody Johnson; and many more. Among an absolutely stellar group of peers, on June 30, 2023, Leslie Satcher was nominated to the Nashville Songwriters’ Hall of Fame.

Aside from writing hit songs for some of music’s most iconic artists, Leslie is in high-demand as a performer known for her angelic voice, funny stories, unique playing style and sound of her guitar, but mostly for her uncanny ability to connect with audiences of any size or demographic. Her typical year includes more than 150 songwriting sessions and 65 live performances all over the U.S., U.K. and Canada.

In her free time, Leslie returns home to her very own fishing cabin on historic family land in East Texas, where she most enjoys entertaining aunts, uncles, cousins, friends and largemouth bass.
