Lelsey Curtis & Stuart Mcleod
Acoustic Indie - Folk Duo
- About Us -
Curtis & Mcleod are a singer/songwriting and performing duo comprised of Lesley Curtis & Stuart McLeod. Their first collaboration was in 2014 when they co-wrote songs for Lesley’s third solo album ‘Looking for the Girl’. This was the start of their songwriting partnership.
In August 2015 they formed ‘Oakleas Rise’ and released their debut album ‘Little White Lies’ in 2019 plus two singles in 2020 –‘Nothing Lasts Forever’ and ‘A Little Bit of Understanding’.
In 2022 following a move to the East Riding of Yorkshire, they found that creatively it opened new doors to projects and individual writing outside of their ‘Oakleas Rise’ parameters that didn’t quite fit into their duo persona. So, with this fresh approach to their music, they decided in July 2024 to change their name from Oakleas Rise to ‘Curtis & Mcleod’ to reflect and celebrate this.
Stuart has previously written and released a couple of albums under the ‘Lost & Found Club’ name and Lesley has released other solo work under her own name. The name change is designed to bring these all together in one place. They are currently working on a new album for 2024 as ‘Curtis & Mcleod’.
They have opened this new era by releasing the singles ‘You Owe Me Your Rent’ and ‘For A Little Love’ which they wrote for a ‘Folk Opera’ they are involved with. You can see them in the show 'Sarah... (Life Turned Her That Way)' currently playing at venues throughout East Yorkshire.
