Testimonials:
"Being taught by Leah Hinchcliff is one of my most favorable experiences. She makes music available in wonderous ways! Take a lesson from her as soon as you can" Camille Solyagua Bass
"Lessons are always fun with Leah. I used to not know anything on guitar, but now I'm playing the songs I enjoy listening to on my Ipod. She's a great, funny, teacher who always listens to you, plus we share the same birthday!" Nick, 12 Guitar, 3 years
"Leah Hinchcliff is the Femme Fatale of Funk" The Olympian
"You've got to be the funkiest woman on two feet...thanks for bringing the funk with Soul Vac tonight!" Les Hutchinson, Portland Drummer

"Leah Hinchcliff is the embodiment of coolness. Smart, funny and incredibly talented! I love hearing her play!!!" Lynette Jensen,
Education Center Director, Beacock Music

Do you like the funky or the soul music? Jazz, blues, R&B more your bag? Of course, Everybody loves the NOLA vibe. We got it all covered, because we like all of those things too. We play songs that make you want to shake your booty; Dancing is highly encouraged, toe tapping is acceptable. We play classic R&B like Sam and Dave and Bobby Womack. Sharon Jones is a favorite too. Her backing band, The Dap Kings, are funky as hell. We also like to be funky as hell. New Orleans inspiration, Jon Cleary and Americana Soul purveyors, the Wood Brothers heavily inform our groove and are well represented in our repertoire. Geebs, Ward, Mike, James and me are a copacetic gathering of like minded musicians bringing you the best, most danceable, most interesting and highly satisfying live music experience.
