Austin-to-Brooklyn transplant, Leslie Sisson, is the lead female vocalist/guitarist in The Wooden Birds while also moonlighting in Matt Pond PA. Her past includes time in Western Keys, Black Lipstick, The Killing Fields, Pavo, Tanworth-in-Arden, and Aero Wave on guitar, bass, keys, cello, flute, voice, as well as guest performances for American Analog Set, Windsor for the Derby, Mark Gardener of Ride, and recent cameos with Dan Mangan and Broken Social Scene. In The Wooden Birds, Pitchfork describes Leslie's voice as a "subdued Stevie Nicks" and The Onion calls her the "real secret weapon" on stage. March 2011 marks the finish line of her debt solo album produced by Louie Lino (Nada Surf, Matt Pond PA) and she's currently seeking hands to help others hear it.
