Naomi Leites (Free Saturday Performance)

Naomi Leites is an Israeli-American singer, songwriter, and artist, born and raised in Seattle, Washington. Her music draws inspiration and influence from her multicultural background and love for cross-cultural connection; much of her art is grounded in her desire to reach her audience through emotive, honest lyrics and to explore the multitude of feelings within the human experience. With an intimate sound somewhere between Jazz, Folk, and Roots music, she takes inspiration from favorite artists such as Leonard Cohen, Melody Gardot, and Tom Waits. From her corner of Washington State, music was her bridge to the rest of the world; her mission is simply to leave her unique mark in the world, to connect with and learn from both fellow musicians and her audiences themselves.
