Leisz grew up in the garage band culture of mid-1960s Southern California . He spent time at the Ashgrove, the Troubador, and clubs on the Sunset Strip . He began playing guitar and soon added dobro and lap steel. He was inspired to pick up the pedal steel after hearing Sneaky Pete Kleinow and Buddy Emmons . In 1975, he toured with John Stewart (formerly of The Kingston Trio ). He was a member of Funky Kings who released their eponymous debut album on Arista Records in 1976. After the band broke up, he became a popular musician both in the studio and on the road.
In 1987, Leisz began working with Dave Alvin (formerly of The Blasters ). Their collaboration led to Leisz producing several of Alvin's albums, including King of California , Black Jack David , Ashgrove , and West of the West . In 1989, he played on k.d. lang 's Grammy-winning Absolute Torch and Twang and joined her on the resulting tour.

The group released their debut album, WPA , on September 15, 2009.
In 2010 and 2011, Leisz toured with Ray LaMontagne as a member of his backing band, The Pariah Dogs. He toured in 2013 as a member of Eric Clapton 's band, in 2015 as a member of Jackson Browne's band, and again in 2017.
