Christie Lenée & Crys Matthews at The Grey Eagle

Spiritual and sublime songwriting, inspired lyrics, and sensational guitar playing, Christie Lenée took First Place at the International Fingerstyle Guitar Championship in 2017, was voted Acoustic Guitarist of the Year by England’s Music
Radar in 2019, and was named Named “Best Acoustic Guitarists in the World Right Now” by Guitar World in 2020. Already being hailed as “the next Woody Guthrie,” Crys Matthews is among the brightest stars of the new generation of social justice music-makers. A powerful lyricist whose songs of compassionate dissent reflect her lived experience as what she lightheartedly calls “the poster-child for intersectionality,” Justin Hiltner of Bluegrass Situation called Matthews’s gift “a reminder of what beauty can occur when we bridge those divides.”
