Kissing the Flint

Leah Chynoweth-Tidy is an Queensland singer-songwriter currently based in her father’s native Scotland. An Australian Celtic Song Of The Year nominee seasoned with a love of rockabilly and steampunk, she created musical project Kissing The Flint (‘creating a spark’) in 2015 to cut through the fakery of the modern world. Authenticity and emotion run through her songwriting, storytelling and sassy live performances, leaving each listener feeling connected and empowered. Song themes flow from an adventurous spirit with crystal clarity of message and vivid imagery drawn from experience, empathy and imagination. Her music moves easily from roots beauty to sultry raunch in explorations of the human condition, a genuine desire to empower others and a lifelong affinity with the natural world. Wherever you find her in the world, she's immersing in nature, ‘kissing the flint’ on stage, penning new songs for future albums and inspiring with authentic, relatable song stories.
