Daysahead has opened for national and international recording artists including Al Green, Roy Ayers, & Angie Stone. Daysahead was featured on the Capital Jazz SuperCruise (Bermuda) in September 2008 with Earl Klugh, George Duke, Patti Austin, Michael Franks, Rachelle Ferrell, Gerald Albright, The Brand New Heavies, Ledisi, Fertile Ground and a host of artists.  Formed in 2003, Atlanta, GA-based Daysahead, founded by guitarist/ producer/ songwriter Steve Wright (Richmond, VA) & vocalist/ lyricist/ songwriter Kim Leachman (Baton Rouge, LA), continues to chart an innovative musical course that weaves soul, rock, and jazz among other elements into a unique, melodic and at times hard-driving sound. A ”Jazz-n-Roll“ musical soup. While performing as electric guitarist and background singer, respectively, for Aezra Records recording artist Crea, Steve approached Kim to co-write and demo a few of his songs. After one writing session together the duo knew they were on to something special. Their single ”You Move Me“ was their first collaboration which has been featured on BET J ”Soul Sessions“, TBS ”StoryLine Soundstage“, & CBS ”Better Mornings“. Since the release of their debut cd Turning Point, Daysahead has received continual radio play throughout the USA, Europe, and Japan on college radio, npr stations, and specialty shows. Daysahead was nominated Best Duo/Group of the year by SoulTracks Readers’ Choice Awards, and Best Band & Best Album of the year by RockWired Awards.

”A near perfect marriage artistically, Daysahead produces high energy music with lyrical substance that rocks embroidered with the fabric of jazz, soul and occasional latin influence." Contemporary Jazz

Turning Point, features Wright's ”electric guitar as the musical centerpiece“ with Leachman's ”wonderfully smokey-voice on top“. The common theme is strong instrumentation and the ”live“ feel of the performance. ”It is the combination of Kim's impressive command of that indefinable voice that goes from gospel, to soul, to jazz and to rock in a seconds notice, and the dexterity of Steve's guitar playing. Who knew such sounds, textures, and imagination could come from just six strings.“ (RockWired)  Daysahead’s single ”It’s In Your Hands“, selected for the Dream On compilation cd, ”is an almost retro jazz-funk groove with its heavy rolling b-line and trippy vocals and divine breaks“ (FunkJunkiez) which sees Daysahead with ”socially conscious lyrics“ (Jazz-not-Jazz). The band’s cohesiveness is definitely noteworthy.

”Daysahead makes their mark on the scene, with an album that's soulful and revives the spirit of the golden era of the 70's & 80's....a sound that's both contemporary & timeless with an air-tight band and bewitching front woman.“ RhythmFlow
