Welcome to the Leon Loft
In 2013, Leon teamed up with our longtime friend Rob Reinhart and his nationally syndicated radio program, Acoustic Café, to host a new series of special episodes in our upstairs performance space—broadcast live through the show. Over the last decade, we’ve welcomed 55 artists and thousands of guests to the Loft for performances featuring intimate versions of chart-topping hits—and exclusive interviews with Reinhart about life, music, and what it means to be a performer in the modern world.
The Loft itself is a beloved space that combines high-quality audio performance from our handcrafted speakers with artful elements of our signature design-oriented style: antique curios, oriental rugs, and classic mid-century-modern furnishings all create a one-of-a-kind ambiance for visitors during these remarkable performances.

American Aquarium
American Aquarium is a powerhouse of the alternative country and roots-rock music scene, celebrated for their relentless touring work ethic and their fierce, independent spirit. Fronted by the raw, gravelly vocals and razor-sharp storytelling of songwriter BJ Barham, the Raleigh, North Carolina-based group blends the grit of 90's country with heartland rock and roll melodies driven by driving percussion and crying pedal steel guitars. Over a two-decade career, they have built a deeply loyal community by delivering uncompromised, blue-collar music that unflinchingly tackles personal survival, sobriety, the dismantling of the American dream, and modern Southern identity.
“This isn’t an album to ferry you away from life’s troubles. It’s here to spit and snarl in your face, and speak to the true life trials and tribulations so many are facing in the late stage American empire.”
— Saving Country Music
“Barham…is still writing songs that could sit quite easily within the catalogues of a Springsteen or a Mellancamp. Tackling themes like the downfall of small-town America, the yearning for true connection and the socioeconomic wreckage of unconstitutional politics, Barham’s lyrics paint pictures wrapped around a rock and roll soundtrack.”
“At Leon, our vision has always been about immersing ourselves into the arts. The Leon Loft is our way of supporting and bringing in the artists and musicians that inspire our signature sound.”
–Noah Kaplan, Founder & President, Leon Speakers
