Leah Blevins on Finding Her Voice, Signing with Dan Auerbach, and Learning to Let Go | MCP #223

In this intimate episode of The Morse Code Podcast, host Korby Lenker sits down with rising Americana star Leah Blevins for a vulnerable, wise, and deeply human conversation about music, identity, and the winding path of the creative life. Leah opens up about her roots in Eastern Kentucky, her gospel-singing family, and the twin bond that shaped her early years. She shares the pressures and rewards of her recent publishing deal with Major Bob, how she's learned to balance discipline with inspiration, and what it really means to write songs from a place of emotional honesty without burning out. The two also talk about personal growth, relationships, and the surprising clarity that comes from moments of doubt—including Leah’s brief foray into culinary school and what it taught her about staying true to her calling. The episode crescendos with a live performance of her new single “Hundred Different Sides”, and the news of her record deal with Dan Auerbach’s Easy Eye Sound. If you’ve ever struggled with the tension between vulnerability and self-preservation, this one will hit home. Get full access to Morse Code with Korby Lenker at korby.substack.com/subscribe
