Leanne Lightfoot is a singer/songwriter living in Millerville, Alberta. She is well versed in the ways and heritage of the western lifestyle, having raised 3 children on the ‘Elbow River Ranch’, west of Calgary. A well respected horsewoman, she earns her living coaching & training horses, and riders for competition at a national level.
An avid singer from an early age, and an ability to pick a tune on multiple instruments, made songwriting a natural transition.
In 2014, her debut album ‘Redtail Flyer’, featuring 11 original tunes with her band, ‘Elbow River’, charted on community & college radio stations taking them as high as number 1 ranking on the folk charts, and number 5, overall on Calgary Radio Station, CJSW ( the album is available on iTunes).
Currently fronting the band, Oleana, Lightfoot continues to write, sing and perform, as well as performing as a duo, with her partner Tom Walker (keyboardist with Oleana), and backing up good friend, and favourite cowboy poet, Jesse Colt, from Priddis, AB.
