About Daysahead

Portrait of Daysahead

Daysahead

“Daysahead makes their mark on the scene, with an album that’s soulful and revives the spirit of the golden era of the 70’s & 80’s….a sound that’s both contemporary & timeless with an air-tight band and bewitching front woman.” RhythmFlow

Daysahead was recently featured on the Capital Jazz SuperCruise in Bermuda with Earl Klugh, Rachelle Ferrell, Gerald Albright, Will Downing, Patti Austin, Michael Franks, The Brand New Heavies, Ledisi, & Fertile Ground. Daysahead has also shared bills with national and international recording artists such as Al Green, Roy Ayers, & Angie Stone. They perform numerous music festivals & venue/club dates throughout the US and abroad.

Formed in 2003, Atlanta, GA-based Daysahead, founded by guitarist Steve Wright (Richmond, VA) & vocalist Kim Leachman (Baton Rouge, LA), has an edgy soulful sound with a jazz-rock fusion, coined as “Jazz-n-Roll”.

While performing as electric guitarist and background singer, respectively, for Aezra Records recording artist Crea, Steve approached Kim to co-write and demo a few of his songs. After one writing session together the duo knew they were on to something special. “You Move Me” was their first collaboration. Steve called up a few musician friends, and the group immediately began recording Turning Point. Since the release of their debut cd Turning Point, Daysahead has received continual radio play throughout the USA, Europe, and Japan. Daysahead was nominated Best Duo/Group of the year by SoulTracks Readers’ Choice Awards, and Best Band & Best Album of the year by RockWired Awards.
