What do you think of when you think of Cowgirl Mermaids? Never heard of one before? Well, that’s just Lorena Leigh’s style.
The creative singer and songwriter found the spirit of her style in Fort Worth: a Cowgirl Mermaid. It’s the whimsical, fun, soulful and out of the box delight she wants her audiences to experience when they listen to her music. An amalgamation that, inexplicably and yet perfectly, describes Lorena Leigh.

What do you think visitors will find unexpected about Fort Worth?
Fort Worth is an underdog right now. I don't think the average visitor realizes how creative & diverse Fort Worth is... how much there is to do, see and experience. No matter their background, the people of Fort Worth tend to be very down to earth, warm and welcoming while also being city-savvy and metropolitan. The culture here is unlike any other in Texas or the world. The only way to really understand what Cowtown is all about is for someone to come and experience the spirit of Fort Worth for themselves.
