Bio / Background
Just War
Leigh Herrick is an award-winning poet recognized at both the local and national level. She is also a hand drummer and has trained intensively with such professional drummers as Layne Redmond and Marcos "Chico" Perez. She is an interdisciplinary artist, and her JUST WAR album exemplifies the purest sense of crossing boundaries between musicianship and poetic performance which she has achieved in both mainstream and academic settings. JUST WAR is a mix of Leigh Herrick's original poetry, underscored with traditional frame drumming and other percussion, as well as a breath of blues, hip hop, and a touch of the avant-garde! Using metaphor and satire through free and formal aspects of verse, this work looks at the intersections between politics and policy, science and nature, and gender, race, and class. The blending of rhythmic drumming within the poetic framework arouses consciousness and changes energy.
