Leslie Stevens
Eloquent and dulcet-voiced songwriter Leslie Stevens has earned accolades for her recordings and live performances as a luminary in the Los Angeles music scene. A devotee of the folk tradition, Stevens brings a heartfelt, authentic approach to her music. Named Best Country Singer by LA Weekly, she has lent her vocal and compositional talents to Hollywood scores, records, and television shows, and has performed alongside artists including Brian Wilson, Joe Walsh, Jackson Browne, and members of the Johnny Cash and Loretta Lynn families.
So, step away from the desk, gather your coworkers, and join us for a fitting tribute to Dolly and a little 9-to-5 magic — because even the workday deserves a great soundtrack.
