LATEST ALBUM

COMING ALIVE

OUT NOW!

Coming Alive reflects a feeling of self-empowerment and emerging back into the wild,” says Lenée. “I want listeners to be a part of this liberating sensation.”

Driven by iconic guitar hooks and powerhouse vocal performances, Christie was excited to collaborate with Matthew Odmark (Jars of Clay) to co-produce an album that’s “more plugged in, but remaining true to my acoustic heart.” Her core band features drummer Keith Carlock (Steely Dan, Toto, Sting, John Mayer) and Grammy Award Winning bassist Adam Nitti (Kenny Loggins, Carrie Underwood, Susan Tedeschi).

Lenee’s newly released 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.

VIDEO PREMIERE

AND INTERVIEW!

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, Go Magazine, 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.

Christie performs solo and duo shows alongside multi-instrumentalist Katie Marie, with a set sampling both Lenée’s instrumental and vocal repertoire. Her live show embodies loops, percussion, vocal FX, acoustic tapping, electric bass, positive optimistic songs and high energy performances.

Lenée 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.

“Watching Christie Lenée perform her solo acoustic act is like seeing a firecracker execute a high-wire circus routine while doing flips and juggling flaming bowling pins.”
