Club Hertz Live with Singer-Songwriters

Leah Belle Faser, Liz and the Lions, Haddon Kime

A Georgia native, singer/songwriter Leah Belle Faser has an authentic musical style that crosses many different genres but is grounded in a unique blended sound seasoned with county, pop, rock, and folk influences. Powerful and soulful, Leah’s vocals bring to life the emotion and energy of the thought-provoking lyrics and rich storytelling she delivers through compelling original songs and the songs of favorite artists. In 2020, Leah worked with Grammy-Award winning producer Casey Wood to release her debut EP, Crossing Hermi’s Bridge — now out on all platforms. Leah is a “Teen Artist of the Year” nominee in the 2021 Georgia Country Awards and was also recently named among the “5 Up-And-Coming Women Musicians You Should Know” in Bust Magazine and as one of “Three Acts to Watch” in Wide Open Country. In 2021, Leah was thrilled to be an opening act for Jimmie Allen at the Warner Robins Independence Day Concert, for Christopher Cross at the Woodstock Summer Concert Series, and to be featured at other notable music festivals and events throughout Georgia.  A member of the Junior class of the IB Magnet Program at Campbell High School in Smyrna, Leah can be found playing solo acoustic gigs at venues in Atlanta and North Georgia on weekends.

Liz Mannchen fluctuates between being a solo performer and full band performance. With an empowering message to inspire others to be bold, fierce, and wild and to go out and “live as lions,” Liz and the Lions narrates through tales of people, life lessons, experiences, themes, and adventures along their journey with an animated yet meaningful flare of folk and indie-rock music. Liz and the Lions has toured in over 40 countries, recorded six studio albums, and branded their message into a company called Live As Lions. Check it out at www.liveaslions.com!
