Leanne Averbach & Indigo is a sultry fusion of the spoken words of Vancouver/New York poet Leanne Averbach and the original blues/jazz accompaniment of Astrid Sars' band trio INDIGO. The Georgia Straight writes, "The poems swing from worldly to wild" and the group has toured across Canada and New York City since the launch of Averbach's first book Fever and the accompanying CD in 2005. Averbach's poetry ranges from the erotic to the political, and the dynamic musical sounds that mix classic Gershwin to Chet Baker with original compositions give poetry an afterlife of freshness that pulls you in.
