DCIFF

At the age of three, Kerry Leigh was passing the hat while her father sang the blues. She dropped out of school in 7th grade, and became a full-time traveling street performer. Now 26 years old, Kerry’s new act on Frenchman Street in New Orleans is renting out her imagination with a typewriter. She’s a modern day scribe, an old soul in a young body, and a brilliant writer stuck doing all she’s ever known, busking, on the same stage she’s ever known, the street.
