Indie folk musician Odie Leigh played to a packed Bowery Ballroom in New York city on her Carrier Pigeon Tour to celebrate her debut album of the same name. Leigh welcomed fans of her new album as well as her previous EPs that garnered attention online in the last few years, 2022’s How Did it Seem to You? and 2023’s The Only Thing Worse Than a Woman Who Lies Is a Girl Who’ll Tell Truths.
The show made for an incredibly wholesome evening, with Leigh asking everyone to yell out their names and
encouraging them to sing along to their favorite songs. Her music manages to walk the line between ethereal and angry. Her enchanting guitar picking and soothing voice combines with hard hitting lyrics like “I don’t think your girlfriend gets off / I think she’s lying to you” that are incredibly cathartic to sing with a crowd.
The night had somewhat of a surprising end, with Leigh and her band telling everyone to open the pit, and everyone passionately moshed to “Conversation Starter.”
