World Cafe Sense Of Place Visit To Nashville Kicks Off With The Indie-Pop of Leagues

Leagues

Leagues is truly in a league of its own. The Nashville trio – consisting of vocalist Thad Cockrell, guitarist Tyler Burkum, and percussionist Jeremy Lutito – produces, in their own words, ethereal joy explosions of pop and rock quite unlike that of their contemporaries. This is due largely in part to the band’s approach to songwriting and overall idea of musicianship. Cockrell, Burkum, and Lutito are inspired by songs rather than artists. Thus, their own songs are crafted with that same intention: to inspire others in a unique way. The band’s self-titled EP, released in 2011, garnered much praise and recognition for this philosophy. Leagues’ debut full-length album You Belong Here, set to be released January 29, hopes to have a similar reaction.
