Broken Anchor

After building a reputation as a solo performer, scoring placements on hit TV shows like “Private Practice, "Friday Night Lights", and “The Jersey Shore”, L.A. based singer-songwriter Austin Hartley-Leonard is charting new creative territories with Broken Anchor. Teaming up with producer Brad Gordon, Hartley-Leonard offers up “a stunning ride through a songwriter's exploration of life and love, created with a clarity of vision only the journey can provide” (KCRW).

Featuring songs fleshed out in live performances and a series of three critically-acclaimed Eps, Broken Anchor’s first full-length album, Fresh Lemonade, coalesces Hartley-Leonard’s eclectic musical and life experiences into a sound Los Angeles Magazine calls “Budweiser tallboy music, best heard coming from the stereo of a used Cadillac that required way too much effort to whip back into street legal shape... [as if] the members of Band of Horses had grown up somewhere along the Pacific Coast Highway.” With the addition of Cully Symington (Conner Oberst, Afghan Whigs) on drums, and an EP due out in 2015, Broken Anchor is… killing it.
