Our Story...

Velvet Rodeo, a dynamic country music duo comprising Leah and Bryan, effortlessly blend the sounds of contemporary and classic country, delivering harmonies as smooth as Carolina Honey. Drawing inspiration from acclaimed artists like the Civil Wars, Lady A, and Little Big Town, Velvet Rodeo brings a fresh, modern western twist to the country music scene.

Leah grew up in Swansboro, a quaint little town in the the south Outerbanks of NC. Even as a young girl, she always had an incredible passion for singing and writing songs. At the age of 19, she was leading the worship service and could play most every instrument on stage. She also started performing at venues in her hometown and on the east coast.

Bryan, originally from Hickory, NC, started singing in Southern Gospel quartets at the age of 18, which instilled in him a profound appreciation for vocal harmonies. They also share a passion for musical theater, where Leah & Bryan initially met during a musical production of Oklahoma!

Velvet Rodeo's story begins in the heart of North Carolina, where the duo joined forces approximately four years ago. Their shared passion for music, coupled with Leah's captivating vocals and Bryan's love for harmonies, laid the foundation for what would become Velvet Rodeo.

In 2022, Velvet Rodeo took a leap of faith and made the pivotal move to Nashville, Tennessee. Immersing themselves in the vibrant creative community of Music City, they embraced the city's culture, donned their boots, and made an indelible mark. They secured multiple coveted Broadway residencies, including Nudie's and Second Fiddle, while gracing the stages of renowned venues like The Stage and Legends.
