Catchy, unique and funky - the jazzy yacht-rock band LEAH from Oslo has quickly established itself as a key act on the young Norwegian jazz scene. The band’s sound is rooted in retro pop blended with fresh harmonies, playful grooves and room for spontaneity.
Their debut album Zzz recieved the national composer award «Blåtoneprisen» and was celebrated with two major concerts: a performance with orchestra in the University Aula, and a grand release party at Parkteatret featuring guest artists and support acts.
Since then, LEAH has performed over 50 shows in Norway serving explosive energy and dynamics. Their second album is set for release in spring 2026 and explores arpeggios, motifs, retro-inspired harmonies and new approaches to ballads, all while carrying forward the humor and joy that defined Zzz.

By:larm, Vill Vill Vest, good clubs around the country should track this band down immediately - it's guaranteed to be a great atmosphere
with LEAH on the programme. It's actually a bit embarrassing to brag so much, I generally try not to be such a trumpeting hype machine,
but this was dope. I felt the need to stay in the venue for half an hour just to sort out the impressions. That makes you happy”.
