After half a million votes, 16 acts have been narrowed down to two finalists in the Choose the Cover of Rolling Stone contest. One of these finalists is LA singer-songwriter Lelia Broussard, who if she wins, will not only grace the cover of Rolling Stone, but will also win a recording contract with Atlantic Records.
Broussard has been a staple in the LA and Hotel Cafe singer-songwriter community for some time now. My favorite song of hers is “My Heart’s A Cannonball.” It’s one of those songs I like to call a dirty, little obsession and that I will quite literally play on repeat. All. Day. In that way, her one song will become my soundtrack. I also love her mixing of genres – the backbeat and shuffle of a heritage Country song, subtle favors of a Pop melody, and the genuine, confessional feel of a Singer-Songwriter’s acoustic guitar.

In the final leg of the contest, Broussard will face her competitors The Sheepdogs in a Battle of the Bands taking place on June 11th at Bonnaroo in Nashville. If you’ll be at the festival, definitely make sure to check her out.
