Sky Leuba is a multi-instrumental Bellingham musician and band leader. He performs primarily folk music – mainly singing or on concertina, but he also loves to play jazz and classical on piano. As a child and into early teens he was trained classically and then in jazz and blues. After high school Sky enrolled in jazz ensemble at Hampshire College and then entered the Jazz Studies program at Capilano University. Throughout his whole life he has also been a part of the contra dancing community, a type of New England folk dance (see here for a cinematic view of contra – or see here for a more typical, but excellently groovy listen)
which always features live fiddle music and was instrumental in fostering Sky’s love for folk music. He enjoys thoroughly jazz and classical, but folk music is where his heart lies. Music is a way forward through good times and bad. Let us make our time better spent with live music greasing the cogs of life – in joy or sadness. Sky’s current main projects are the folk singing group “Cedar Sea” and the associated community pub sing project “The Mighty Bards of Menace”
