The Leeway are a Brooklyn based Indie/Folk band. The group is the creation of portuguese musician, Pedro Barquinha who also writes all the music. With this project Pedro takes elements of Folk music such as dense vocal harmonies and an acoustic instrumentation of banjo, mandolin, guitar, bass, and piano and then add intricate arrangements to the mix. The group draws inspiration from groups such Simon and Garfunkel, Punch Brothers, Bob Dylan, Fleet Foxes, The Dirty Projectors, Sufjan Stevens, among many others. In 2014 the band released their debut self-titled 6 track EP which was recorded at The Bunker Studio in Brooklyn. In this intimate video of the song “If Only”, Pedro went back into the Bunker Studio where the EP was recorded and performed his song solo at the piano.
