Acclaimed real country artist Brennen Leigh has announced the album release tour for Don’t You Ever Give Up On Love will begin on October 3rd in Manchester, NH and include dates at The Grand Ole Opry and AmericanaFEST. Please see the complete list of tour dates below.
Leigh’s highly-anticipated third album for Signature Sounds, Don’t You Ever Give Up On Love will be released October 3rd. Don’t You Ever Give Up On Love is available for pre-save and pre-order here (and vinyl via Bandcamp).
Leigh previously shared the album’s first single, “Dumpster Diving” Holler. premiered the song’s official video writing, “As renowned for her musicianship as for her writing, with its hard hitting, hilariously incisive lyrics, ‘Dumpster Diving’ is reminiscent of one of Loretta Lynn’s legendary no-shit-taken, no-fucks-given romantic kerb kickers.”
Indeed, nodding to some of the more cautionary cuts of artists like Lynn, Leigh quickly removes herself from a rubbish romantic relationship in stride on the pedal steel heavy song. Although self-described as a “trashy little tune,” do not discard the wisdom earned from Leigh’s brief suffering by “settling for less than we deserve in love.” Listen HERE.
When it comes to Leigh, there is no question. Always and assuredly precise in her ability to craft country music of the highest caliber, her latest album is packed full of playful ear worms, tender tearjerkers and honky tonk quintessence that two steps straight to the heart. Deemed by No Depression as “an adventurous artist wholly and authentically herself,” Leigh embodies classic country that speaks to the heart. As renowned for her musicianship as for her writing, Leigh’s pure country voice, masterful flatpicking, hard hitting, incisive lyrics and vibrant melodies dazzle.

Brennen Leigh is an American songwriter, guitar player, mandolin player and singer whose to-the-point storytelling style has elevated her to cult icon status in Europe, Scandinavia, across the United States, South America and the United Kingdom. Her songs have been recorded by Lee Ann Womack, Rodney Crowell, Sunny Sweeney, Charley Crockett, and many others. As renowned for her musicianship as for her writing, it’s easy to see how Leigh caught the ear of greats like Guy Clark, who colorfully endorsed her flatpicking: “Brennen Leigh plays guitar like a motherfucker,” and David Olney, who described her writing as “tender, violent, sentimental, foolish and wise, she is always Brennen. Confident and at ease with herself, without being a jerk about it.”
