Creative Loafing Tampa Bay
Australian songwriter Leah Senior plays St. Pete show in June

Leah Senior is pretty clear about how it feels to see people at shows.
“I’m grateful to the people who come along and listen. I’m getting older and I’ll never stop. In fact I’m more dedicated though I keep working my day job,” the Australian songwriter says on the title track of a 2023 album, The Music That I Make .
She’s come a long way to be in Florida to support the outing written in batches during lockdowns in Melbourne. The songs, like “Springtime Studio” recall the quietest moments of Joni Mitchell’s catalog, but Senior—who opened for King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard last fall—also deploys acoustic guitar run through pedals and a wild DI.
Senior’s pristine vocal takes the stage at one of Tampa Bay’s finest listening spaces as she sneaks a St. Petersburg in between dates opening for Kairos Creature Club.
Songwriter Delaney Stack opens alongside Bay area psych-rock outfit The Venus.
