Leigh Ann Phillips is an award-winning singer songwriter, sound healing practitioner, lecturer, and teacher. She is on a mission to merge sound and music to assist people in leading more fulfilling lives in healthier bodies. Her work is taking her all over the world and back again - to her nest in the San Luis Valley of south central Colorado.

Through her sound healing work, Leigh Ann began to travel around the Southwest, then across the USA, and now internationally. Leigh Ann has developed a method of shifting and slowing the brain states, allowing people to not just relax but release emotional blocks that are allowing dis-ease in the body. Her method incorporates the crystal singing bowls, harp, tingshaws, tuning forks, herbal medicine, piano and her voice. She also uses the crystal bowls as percussion instruments, allowing the vibration of sound to run even deeper throughout the body. The sound and the music have merged, and Leigh Ann's passion for life has sounded into a path where music can bring not just beauty, but health, peace and promise.

New CD available now... Call of the Feather

In the recording world, Leigh Ann broke out with the release of her 2004 debut CD, Just Over Those Mountains. The title track won the Silverton Jubilee Songwriting Competition that year as well as a songwriting award in England. Her compositions are a dynamic blend of piano-based thought-provoking pop, folk, and "orchestral Americana" flavored with a bit of jazz. Expanding her musical palette even further, in 2007 she released Journey Into the Mind, a beautiful guided meditation CD featuring piano, vocal toning, and the hypnotic sound of the crystal bowls.

In November, 2008, Leigh Ann finished working with Alamosa, Colorado producer and musician extraordinaire Don Richmond and released Call of the Feather, her second singer-songwriter album of original compositions. It is an expansive work with a wide range of musical influences that make it a diverse and stimulating album, with major themes of connection to the Earth and hope in the midst of change in the difficult times in which we live. The songs are powerful and personal, yet universal.

Leigh Ann's lyrics are often inspired by the dramatic surroundings of her home in the foothills of the spectacular Sangre de Cristo range. The rural beauty and vast expanse of the San Luis Valley at her doorstep provides a buffer from the frantic media clutter of modern-day life. When not working at home in this secluded retreat, Leigh Ann speaks and performs often throughout southern Colorado, northern New Mexico, and elsewhere - please explore this website to learn much more!

See what critics are saying about Leigh Ann's music:

"Leigh Ann has a remarkable voice. She'll break your heart with the purity and simplicity of her ballads, and the next moment have you rocking with the vigor and earthiness of her jazz and rockabilly. Like all great singers, whatever the genre, she knows how to tell a story."
– Michael Apted, director of "Enigma", "Gorillas in the Mist" and "Coal Miner's Daughter"

"Leigh Ann is as natural and exciting as the Great American Landscape. Like Hemingway, she can mirror with beautiful accuracy what is so precious to those who will only take notice. She pulls me in every time."
– Lee Roy Parnell, guitarist and singer-songwriter

"...sophisticated, soothing and inspiring..."
– Mark Steele, Telluride Watch

"...What makes the album shine is the luminous intelligence and rock-solid musicianship with which she brings the material to life. Her voice gets inside your head, her words latch on to your heart, and you're caught. Phillips is not easy to characterize. Always stimulating, she has a musical vocabulary that ranges from pop to folk to contemporary with plenty of other stops along the way... She is, quite simply, an original."
– Joanne Sheehy Hoover, Albuquerque Journal
