Fingerstyle Guitar Champion Christie Lenée Appearing At City Winery

Singer, songwriter and 2017 international fingerstyle guitar champion Christie Lenée will be coming to Nashville on Saturday, July 21 at City Winery alongside Chasing Jonah. Lenée is a captivating performer with a devoted following among instrumental, folk-pop and rock band audiences. Combining guitar mastery, contemporary singer/songwriter and a passion for storytelling, she thrives on bringing people together through the language of music. Christie’s unique guitar work and profound instrumental compositions are well described as ‘Michael Hedges meets Joni Mitchell and Dave Matthews.’ Among the vast community of fingerstyle and tapping guitarists, her niche is the integration of melodic pop lyricism with catchy hooks that excite both modern commercial listeners and classic purists. With a menu of percussive and sonic effects, and larger than life sounding instruments, her solo shows embody layers of orchestral elements with a wide array of dynamics and harmonic textures. Earlier this month (6/15), Lenée released her latest instrumental single, “Sterling Highway,” which can be heard here.
