Bisbee Person of the Week!
That happy busker you see around downtown Bisbee is CHRISTA LEIGH! She’s been serenading the people of Bisbee since 2013. Playing music is her full-time job supporting herself and her daughter. So if you see her, put a tip in her guitar case and tell her you saw her in This Week in Bisbee!
