Twitter was alive on Wednesday, July 30th, as we hosted a Twitter Party for rising artist Sonia Leigh. With her new single “Put It In Your Pocket” making headway in country radio, the songwriter (‘Goodbye in Her Eyes‘ and ‘Sweet Annie‘, both recorded by Zac Brown Band) is well on her way to the big time. Touching on her proudest moment, tender moments, and list of heavy weights she’s toured with, a great time was had by all; fan questions for Sonia went on well after the party ended at 9pm EST.
