Musical Artist Spotlight Leah Marie Fuls Photos by Brian Limage Leah Marie Fuls, may be one of the Lehigh Valley Music Scene’s best kept secret. Fuls, a local singer/songwriter and guitarist plays a mix of Rock, Country, Folk and Pop. It has been said by her peers, that “her voice is a pleas- ant, throwback-cross between early Jewel and post 10,000 Maniacs Nathalie Merchant.” A fan hailing all the way from Arizona quoted: “Watch this girl, she’s going to put P’burg on the map Big Time!” Fuls’ 2017 debut EP You’re Never Gone, landed her a nomination for Song of the Year in the Modern Country Category for the 2017 Josie Music Awards, the largest Independent Artist Music Awards Show, worldwide; which was hosted in Nashville, TN in September 2017. Her original song You're Never Gone, a song about how our departed loved ones never leave us, garnered her six nominations and her first recognition and inclusion in the 2017 LVMA’s, as well as, nine nominations for the upcoming 2018 LVMA’s. Leah has been performing live on the scene for about three years, and can be seen and heard collaborating with many other local musicians of various genres. She is also a huge contributor to many charities and events, do- nating her time and talent over the years for various causes and fundraisers. Her music appeals to all audiences young and old. Her eclectic taste and love of music allows Fuls to authentically entertain and connect to her audiences. Her powerful voice can give a familiar cover song a unique spin and her originals thus far have been accentuated by her meaningful lyrics. 48 Steel Notes Magazine www.steelnotesmagazine.com
