Christie Lenée is more than a musician - she’s an experience. Symphonic compositions flow from her fingertips effortlessly, with sound ranging from transcendental folk-pop to virtuosic instrumentals. Christie has been described as “Dave Matthews meets Joni Mitchell and Michael Hedges,” integrating melodic pop lyricism with catchy hooks and percussive, harmonic textures. An artist celebrated across eclectic audiences, Lenée has performed at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles, was a 2x Finalist in the USA Songwriting Competition, and has been covered in a variety of articles in Guitar Player Magazine, Premier Guitar, Americana Highways and Acoustic Guitar Magazine. In 2017, Lenée won first place in the International Fingerstyle Guitar Championship, and was named “One of the Best Acoustic Guitarists in the World Right Now” by Guitar World in 2020. She’s performed alongside Tommy Emmanuel, Andy McKee, Amy Ray (Indigo Girls), and Tim Reynolds (Dave Matthews Band), and was featured on the Melissa Etheridge Cruise in 2021. Beyond her technical prowess and abundant joy, Lenée has the rare ability to connect with audiences through an emotional landscape. Her spiritual depth resonates with listeners, filling them with healing and lasting inspiration. On Wednesday, April 15th, Christie will be performing at the 04 Center alongside one of Austin's favorites Katie Marie, with a set sampling both Lenée’s instrumental and vocal repertoire as well as unreleased material. Christie Lenée's live show embodies loops, percussion, vocal FX, acoustic tapping, bass and high energy performances. She has released six albums and toured extensively as an independent artist, selling out venues all over North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia, as well as making radio and television appearances in various regions. “Adding multi-instrumentalist Katie Marie to the show has been a breath of fresh air. Her joy and vibrant musicianship has added new life to the songs,” muses Lenée, adding that it’s made her performances “even more sweet and invigorating.” Christie Lenee’s most recent album "Coming Alive" reminds devout listeners of her spiritual and sublime songwriting, inspirational lyrics, and of course, sensational guitar playing.
