Rising new comer Leah Turner has been dreaming of this day for so long, her brand new self titled EP was released Tuesday May 6th and in support of the release Turner took to social media network,  Stage It for a 50 minute set performing songs from the EP. "Make Your Move" the first of those performed sure had it's high's and low's, the power Turner convicts in her vocals may come off as a scream fest, though deep down is the soul of a beast untamed, the grit and raspy tune has fire and flare fans certainly relate to. In between performances fans asked Turner questions, one fan asked Who were your musical influences growing up? " I listened to a number of artists from Tricia Yearwood, Garth Brooks and Shania Twain, I have so many musical influences, I listened to a lot of gospel as well." she told fans.
"This is great, I get to live my dream." she proclaimed.
Performing "Beat Up Bronco" a ballad from the EP conveys conviction in Leah's raspy vocals, showcasing her vulnerability and melodic, harmonizing voice. The voice matches the person, Leah remembers growing up in California, "I'm a country California girl, I remember riding around with dad in his diesel pick up truck", she says to viewers.A fellow fan also named Leah proclaims My parents are yelling at me to get to bed, will you play "Pull Me Back"? As bummed as the fan was Leah performs the requested fan song and felt bad for Leah (the fan) had to leave for the night. "good name by the way Leah", she tells her fan. "Pull Me Back" Leah's follow up and newly released single from "Take The Keys" talks of heartbreak and moving on, the passion in Turner's vocals spark. Some fan questions of the evening where on songwriting and the songwriters Leah works with Jesse Frasure and Cary Barlowe who she co-wrote with on all tracks of the EP to working with Hilary Lindsey who's written for Carrie Underwood. Leah's guitarist and band mate Beck wrote  "Blue Water" in which she sings back round on. The songs summer time vibe's hook will catch you in a good mood, it's a sure feel good song, one performed of the evening. "Paradise Park" was an added song through out the Stage It show also written by Beck. The songs trailer park anthem is a sure fire hit to my ears and any country side homie would listen to. The songs kept on coming and went way past the encore performance of "Take The Keys" a top 40 hit for Turner. Much past the encore Leah talks saying "Okay folks, anyone under 18 may want to leave the room", she chuckles. Pulling out a drink with band mate Beck. It was during the last performance those who stayed for didn't catch the title or it was possible everyone was feeling tired at that point. Never the less, Turner's 50 minute Stage It show didn't disappoint who left fans satisfied. The night's Stage It Show was partnered by Leah and CMA. 

Expect to keep an eye on Rising artist Leah Turner throughout 2014 as she joins Brad Paisley on tour this summer.
