Imagine if Janis Joplin were alive today and able to metamorph into a Nashville artist singer songwriter writing honestly about love, loss, lust and the challenges of everyday life, add a half cup of Patty Griffin and a tablespoon of Melissa Etheridge and you have Leslie Dysinger.
Leslie began her independent music career in 1992 when she decided to move to Memphis, TN. In Memphis Leslie began writing songs and discovering her musical independence. A chance performance at a benefit for a local club led to Leslie's role as the lead singer in an all girls group called "Girls Room Only". After 2 years of playing with the group, Leslie and guitarist Jody Swanner decided to form a new group called "Undecided". Over the course of four years, "Undecided" played the Memphis bar scene and became the regular weekend house band for Denim and Diamonds, Hwy. 51 Bar & Grill as well as Buffalos South. The group also frequently haunted Alfreds on Beale St. and played local festivals with such act as Carol Plunk and the Belle Curves.
In 1998 Leslie moved back to Nashville to pursue her career as a songwriter. After a few years of experiencing more of "life's challenges", in 2003 she began focusing her creativity on songwriting and has since been writing and performing in Nashville, Huntsville, Memphis and all over the South since 2005. The release of her debut album, Cause & Effect, is an honest account and reflection of her life. Leslie's unique vocal style is reminiscent of Janis Joplin and her story telling craft is simple, straightforward and poignant.
