Originally from the Turtle Mountains in North Dakota, Leo Rondeau now calls Austin, TX his home. His songs describe interesting characters in both mundane and extraordinary circumstances. The storytelling, enhanced by catchy melodies, earned him a Songwriter of the Year nomination from the Academy of Texas Music. His record “Take It and Break It,” is built with the simple approach of good songs and good sounds. The songs take on a cocky persona that struts through the speakers.
