We were thrilled to have David Leisner return to the LIGF again. This was David's eighth performance at the festival in its thirty-two-year history. He has become part of the LIGF extended family and is an important part of our story. David played a beautiful folk-inspired program last night that was truly a musical gift to all who attended.
