Ley Line in Concert

Four voices coalesce. Rooted in rhythm. The women of Ley Line transcend language and genres to create a sound that seems to emerge from deep within the earth. Dynamic harmonies run like a current through textures of stand up bass, guitar, ukulele and percussion. Raised on the North American traditions of blues, folk and soul and inspired by their world travels, Ley Line creates a global soundscape; blending rhythms and influences from Brazil, Latin America and West Africa. Ley Lines multilingual performances unite audiences around the world.

Ley Line is the musical merging of two duos. Austinites Kate Robberson and Emilie Basez met twin sisters Madeleine and Lydia Froncek at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival in 2013. Since reuniting in Austin, Texas in 2015, Ley Line has been weaving together their individual journeys into a collective vision. Through intimate live performances and multilingual lyrics, Ley Lines music inspires connection across the peaks and valleys of the human experience.

Through instruments and voices, music and storytelling, Ley Line builds bridges across cultures and life experiences. Their mission is to celebrate culture through musical tradition and innovation in order to create connection across borders and languages. Ley Line is a part of a growing movement of self-managed artists supporting sustainable and intimate touring practices. On the road and in their hometown of Austin, Texas they engage with local communities through music and outreach. Ley Line partners with schools and grassroots organizations, offering workshops and interactive performances to promote cultural appreciation amongst diverse populations. They have partnered to support non-profits including Girls Impact the World, The Amala Foundation, Fuel our Fire, GirlForward, Casa Marianela, Creative Action and Livroteca Brincante do Pi
