Leslie Beukelman grew up in Sandwich, Illinois. Her parents were musicians and perhaps her drummer mother (who was performing while 8 months pregnant with Lelsie) that instilled the desire to write and make music.
After a degree in jazz performance/jazz studies from Roosevelt University, Beukelman had a choice of a myriad places to bring her many talents. She chose to stay in Chicago and tap into the diverse musical scene.
As a hummingbird is able to go from flower to flower, Beukelman can be found in many different musical venues and genres. The Chicago Skyliners Big Band, fronting the rock band the Brite Lites or making beautiful harmonies in the three-piece woman's group the Oh Yeahs. Meet Leslie Beukelman, a songbird, a songwriter, a serious musician who is leaning into the working musician trade. Her website is www.lesliebeukelman.net.
