Press Quotes
Kerry Muir (Severna Park Voice)
"It can be said that the band has something for everyone, but that might give the mistaken impression that the band’s sound is watered down or inoffensively bland somehow, and Leo & Cygnus — with its distinctive blend of disparate songwriting styles and musical influences — is anything but.”
Peter Braverman (D.C. Photographer)
"Percussion, ready to roll, before a great set by Annapolis-based Leo and Cygnus (the Lion and the Swan). "Drummer" Kelsey Price challenges that label with an eclectic and unusual collection of instruments, all of which she puts to great effect! Saturday, Aug. 12, 2017. Sofar Sounds at Beyond Studios, Shaw, DC.
Kerry Muir (Severna Park Voice)
"One has the sense, when listening to Leo & Cygnus, of watching a heated but animated conversation between wildly gifted rival siblings, as unexpected rhythms and tempos bounce off one another like rubber balls, and graceful, elegant melodies collide with off-beat, unanticipated ones, keeping listeners on their toes. The overall mosaic that emerges from the encounter is lively, varied and intricate, infused with the unexpected."
