CHRISTIE LENEE DUO SUNDAYS ON THE RIVER IN OLIVETTE

Over the past decade, award-winning singer/ songwriter and instrumentalist Christie Lenée has garnered major recognition for her exceptional proficiency on the acoustic guitar. 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.
An artist celebrated across eclectic audiences, Lenée has been featured on the Grammy Museum’s virtual program streaming from Los Angeles, was a 2x Finalist in the USA Songwriting Competition, and has been covered in a variety of articles in Guitar Player Magazine and Acoustic Guitar Magazine.
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 Sunday, October 11th, Christie will be performing at the Olivette Riverside Pavillion alongside multi-instrumentalist Katie Marie, with a set sampling both Lenée’s instrumental and vocal repertoire as well as unreleased material.
Christie's live shows embody loops, foot percussion, vocal FX 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. The first line of the intro title track (“I’ve got a feeling deep inside”), tells you everything you need to know: Lenée’s sixth album is a chronicle of joy and hope, of self-confidence and empowerment, of renewal and light.
