Bio
Christie Lenée: Music that manifests passion, electric energy, and soulful insight- transmitted from the heart and crafted into compositions. Her keen sensibilities sit at the core of expression- articulated through masterful guitar pieces, introspective lyrics, vocals, and epic movements. Every show is an experience- it's awe-inspiring, enlivening, often described as "a breath of fresh air." <p> Christie Lenée was selected in 2011 as "Best Guitarist" for the 93.7WSTW Hometown Heroes Awards, and nominated for "Best Female Songwriter" in Philadelphia's own Origivation Magazine Readers Choice Awards. She has composed a variety of innovative work- from folk and funk, to pop/rock inspired songs, to choral arrangements and classical orchestrations. Her ability to fuse these styles into one propels an eruption of harmonic fluidity, delivering profound expressions and a vibrant live performance. Whether performing solo or with a full band (Christie Lenée Project), Lenée's kinetic fingerboard work, alluring voice, and rich lyrics bring a mesmerizing experience. <p> Media and fans have compared Christie to modern virtuosic guitarists like Andy McKee and Michael Hedges. Her acoustic style is ornamented with open tunings, finger tapping, and percussion on the guitar. More recently, others have been raving about the passionate voice soaring above it all. Between the two, she embraces her roots as a songwriter and transcends through the experience of each song- No matter what the crowd or venue, lighting up each stage with a radiant presence. Christie has recorded and performed with a stellar cast of musicians- some including Tim Reynolds (Dave Matthews Band), Jeff Coffin (Bela Fleck and the Flecktones), Oteil Burbridge (The Allman Brothers), Angel Band, and Marty Balin (Jefferson Airplane). <p> With a dream to create global harmony through music, Lenée continues to expand upon her ever-evolving repertoire. Her song collection is vast with an assortment of live CDs (2003-2008), two home studio albums (Melody of Mood, Peace Is…), the studio production "Set it Free" (2009), and the more recent "Acoustic Sessions" disc. Now working with a brilliant group of musicians in Philadelphia, Christie just finished a new EP, and is currently in production of the new album "Daylight Comes." In the meantime she is still touring frequently, gracing each audience with an unforgettable experience. .. "She is somewhere between Tim Reynolds instrumentally and vocally has moments that remind me of Ani Difranco.".. -Fluffy, Tim Reynolds Tour Manager.. "...Her guitar work liquifies me, even vaporizes me and finally, it makes me whole again. Solid yet fluid, still one with her strumming, I can't help but ride the waves her sounds induce. Watching and listening to her play is intoxicating. It entrances and moves me into dance... The energy she radiates through song washes over me, fills me, gushes from me so that I feel as if I could flood the venue, drowning every blessed soul with the highest concentration of pure love and harmony that could ever flow from a human being." -Jennifer Vera.. "...She bounds from folk to classical, while dropping jazz, blues and jam-band-friendly funk lines along the way. She even wilds out on occasion and unleashes the hot, heavy licks that make classical rock fans drool..." WT, Tampa Creative Loafing .. "...Lenee's live show spirits vocals that are as soothing as a mother singing to heal her child but create the energy and passion of a roller coaster screaming off the tracks..." -Phil Grech, The Local Buzz Mag, Port St Lucie, FL .. "...fashioning a career through the six strings of her instrument and an urge to create. Technically, she has got the chops confident in the classical style, fluid in jazz, versed in pop and rock. She tackles solo concert repertoire, jams in a band, sings homemade ballads and strums what sound like rivers of rhythm." -Kurt Loft, Tampa Tribune.. .. ..Booking Contact..: .. ..Christie Lenée Entertainment.... ..813-385-2808...... christieleneeentertainment@gmail.com.. .. ..

Bio:
Concepts, a musical language- colorful poetry expressed through the song of the soul. Music comes through the body. Emotions channel through sound waves, articulate a dance between six strings and ten fingers. She secures the instrument, centers sounds purely from the earth. Valves of liquid harmony soothe the velvet mind- a clearing opens. New light shines on a path of peace.In each musical phrase, she ruptures with energy. Melodic fingers dance on the neck of the guitar. They shower droplets of musical nuances between lyrics and rhythmic twists. The listeners connect to her words- as if taking a breath of fresh air. She sings with deep grooves of intuition, melismatic yet concise.
A lyric hits me- one after another, the song I needed to hear. The music takes me on an odyssey- vibrant with passion, beyond the scope of my imagination. I want the whole world to feel this: a sense of peace, joy, and pure happiness. She’s refreshing. Inspiring.
