About Gary Leonard

Real Country. Real Stories. No Bull.
Gary Leonard is a UK country singer-songwriter bringing back the sound of 90s country — the guitars, the steel, the heartbreak, the whiskey-soaked stories and the honky-tonk attitude.
In a time when country music can sometimes feel a long way from where it started, Gary is going the other way.
Back to the Telecasters.
Back to the pedal steel.
Back to the honky-tonks.
Back to songs about love, loss, hard times, good times and living life the hard way.
Gary carries the spirit of the 90s country era into a modern UK country scene — keeping the sound raw, the stories honest and the songs front and centre.
There's no chasing whatever happens to be fashionable. Gary believes country music works best when it sounds like country music.
A gritty voice. A ringing six-string. A crying steel guitar. A beat you can two-step to. And a story you can believe.
Growing up in the UK hasn't stopped Gary from chasing that Nashville dream. If anything, it's made the mission clearer: bring the heart of American country music home and give it a UK voice.
His songs are made for the people who still believe a country song should mean something — the ones who've loved hard, lost hard, worked hard and still know how to raise a glass at the end of the night.
This is 90s country with a UK accent.
This is honky-tonk with some dirt under its fingernails.
This is Gary Leonard.
No gimmicks. No shortcuts. Just country.
Bringing country music back to where it was.
