The Quinn Spinn

Ohio-born, Chicago-forged, and Nashville-based, Leah Jean's immense musical talents shine through on everything she does.

Through the years, we've had the chance to appreciate art -- and especially, music -- in all of its forms. All the while, we've tinkered with our own art form (this show), as we've experimented with different ways to communicate our truth. In the process, we've learned that true art cannot be put int...

The pandemic and our individual journeys have informed great changes (and even progress!) since the last ti...
