Artist History Growing up in Lexington, Kentucky, offered no shortage of musical experiences for Logan Leet. From earliest memories, Logan's Dad woke the family up on Sunday mornings with a rousing Beethoven Symphony...much to their chagrin! If you were in the Leet family, you were involved in music. Logan's Mom was a college music major, his Dad played the banjo and his sisters played violin, piano and bass. Logan was classically trained as a clarinetist, but was so enamored of "chording" instruments that he taught himself guitar and piano before the age of twelve. All through high school and college, Logan performed individually and with several bands, many members of which went on to professional careers as performers or songwriters. Logan, however, chose a different path: becoming a respected businessman in his community and raising a family. Even during these busy times he found time for occasional writing on weekends, or providing music at churches or special events.In 1993, Logan spent nearly a year searching new paths and analyzing his life. After doing the "responsible" thing, it was time to follow his heart, and with his family's blessing, he gave up "the suit" and finally followed that dream—music—in any way possible. Songwriting had always been in the picture, but with this decision made, Logan was able to devote more quality time to that endeavor and also to begin performing again. He began at a Lexington watering hole that is well-known for giving local musicians a start. One time on open mic night was all it took. Logan has been entertaining regularly ever since (sometimes with his band, The Lie) at music houses, fairs, festivals and for the arts community. He has performed at the North American Folk Alliance Conference in Vancouver, BC and also is a finalist for the 2001 Kerrville Folk Festival New Folk Concerts in Kerrville, Texas.
