Singer-songwriter Leo Sawikin, like many other emerging recording artists, is busy making up for lost time. He wrote the material for his first album, Row Me Away, in 2019. The album was released two years later in 2021 — one year into the covid pandemic. Promoting that album in front of a live audience wasn’t possible.
But that was then.
Sawikin has been back in the studio recording tracks for a follow-up album to be released in the fall. Seven new singles are already out. Leo is gearing up for numerous tour dates that will take him from coast to coast in support of musician Jon McLaughlin.
Tandy Culpepper and Leo talk about writing, singing, and touring in this episode of The Hollywood Beat.
