Los Angeles-based Leeann Skoda has long been drawn to the rawness and simplicity of country and bluegrass music. The Phoenix native has drawn comparisons to Neko Case and Emmylou Harris. Her latest EP entitled Living Room Sessions was recorded to tape in a single afternoon, in the living room of her collaborator Malachi DeLorenzo with her friends Dylan Rodrigue and Sie Sie Benhoff on backing vocals. Dirty Laundry is the nom de plume of 27-year-old singer-songwriter and banjo player Marcus Veliz. He was born in Portland, Oregon, but grew up near Sacramento, California. A musician since childhood, banjo is the latest in a long line of instruments he plays along with trumpet, autoharp, fiddle, accordion, and guitar. We’re catching him at the tail end of a tour of the Southwest.
