Leslie Satcher Biography

 Leslie Wynn Satcher (born 1962 in Paris, Texas) is a prolific American country music and bluegrass singer-songwriter. To date, she has recorded two critically acclaimed albums of her own; in addition, she has co-written several singles for such artists as George Strait, Martina McBride, Pam Tillis, Gretchen Wilson, Patty Loveless, and Vince Gill. In 1989, she moved to Nashville, Tennessee to pursue her dream of being a country music singer, but found a niche writing the songs for which she is most well known — including many by notable country music acts like Patty Loveless, Vince Gill, Willie Nelson, and Reba McEntire. Pam Tillis reached #12 on the country charts in 1998 with Satcher's "I Said a Prayer". In 2002, Martina McBride's performance of her song "When God-Fearin’ Women Get the Blues" reached #8 in the United States, while her 2006 song "Politically Uncorrect", performed by Merle Haggard and Gretchen Wilson, reached #23 and was nominated for a Grammy award.
