They say never meet your heroes, but for Leah Yawn, wife of Below Deck Mediterranean star Captain Sandy Yawn, meeting Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Brandi Carlile turned into something even more special: the chance to sing alongside her.
Leah shared the spotlight with the music icon, belting out a heartfelt rendition of Maren Morris’ powerful anthem “My Church” during an intimate gathering at New York City’s legendary Stonewall Inn. The two delivered a spirited performance that made for an unforgettable moment, with Leah getting to share her voice with an artist she admires in a place rich with LGBTQ+ history.
Captain Sandy shared a video of the performance on Instagram, capturing the pair singing to an intimate crowd during an evening that was already filled with special memories. The couple had attended a private concert celebrating Brandi’s latest music releases and spent time with the singer and her wife, Catherine Shepherd.
“Omg Leah got to sing Karaoke with Brandi Carlile,” Captain Sandy wrote alongside the video. “Leah and I attended an intimate concert at the Stonewall in NYC celebrating the launch of Brandi’s latest music releases and hung out with her wonderful wife Catherine. Wow, what a concert. Such a special evening, and beginning of new friendships.”
View this post on InstagramThe performance struck a chord with fans and fellow celebrities, who flooded the comments with praise for the duo’s voices and the heartfelt moment they shared. The Above Deck Podcast duo summed up the reaction, writing, “Incredible! They sound so good together!” Meanwhile, Below Deck Mediterranean chef Joy Lefaucheur shared an equally touching message: “Wow, keep healing the world with your voice and prayer.”
Real Housewives of New York City star Sonja Morgan also joined the chorus of praise, commenting, “Amazing. So happy to hear this.” Leah previously opened for Sonja at one of her shows in Boca Raton, Florida, making the moment a full-circle celebration of the connections she has built through music.
But for some fans, the significance of the performance went far beyond the music. The fact that two openly gay women could stand together, sing freely, and celebrate who they are at the Stonewall Inn, the birthplace of a pivotal moment in LGBTQ+ history, made the evening especially meaningful.
“I keep thinking about what the people at Stonewall in 1969 would think if they could see this—two beautiful, openly gay women standing in that same place, just having the best time singing karaoke,” one commenter wrote. “Brandi and Leah, laughing, singing, being completely themselves. THIS is what they were fighting for.”
