At sixteen Leanne signed a Management and Independent record deal, formed her first band, and recorded her critically acclaimed debut EP ôEradicationö featuring five original tracks. The EP was recorded in Sun Studios, Dublin. Released on the True Talent Label and the experienced Paul Thomas was brought in to engineer ôThe man who engineered the first three U2 albums and worked with Phil Lynott to name but a fewö. The production seat was filled by Irish guitarist Aimon (ex. Samuel Eddy) who worked with the late great Rory Gallagher, Nils Lofgren and more.
The EP sold over 3,000 copies and received rave reviews across the board gaining favourable press, national radio play and live appearances on Top European TV shows. But most importantly LeanneÆs EP gained her favourable attention and respect amongst her young Rock contemporaries, as her live energetic stage performances (featuring her live backing band, top Irish rhythm section ôThe Well Worn Routineö) continue to raise many an eyebrow at some of EuropeÆs finest music venues. After witnessing Leanne in action, it becomes quite clear why Leanne at just sixteen became the youngest Irish artist ever to receive an International Guitar Endorsement Dealàà.
Last August Leanne went to London and Wales to record her nine track debut album ôLeanne Harteö with legendary Rock producer Chris Tsangarides (Thin Lizzy, Black Sabbath, Free, Joan Armatrading, Depeche Mode ) Leanne recorded the album with Irish guitar legend Gary MooreÆs backing band, Jon Noyce (Jethro Tull, Gary Moore) on bass and Darrin Mooney (Primal Scream, Gary Moore) on drums and percussion. This album simply has the potential to become a Classic debutà
