This Wednesday: NPR Tiny Desk Contest winner Gaelynn Lea with support from ATL's Heart Hunters

“Karen Dalton and Joanna Newsom melt together in the form of Gaelynn Lea and set about absolutely obliterating your heart.” -Dan Auerbach (The Black Keys)

“The way her voice resonates is so unusual and beautiful, like nothing I’ve ever heard before.” -Jess Wolfe (Lucius)

Classically trained violinist and songwriter Gaelynn Lea is coming to Red Clay Music Foundry in Duluth, GA to play a solo set of her haunting music on Wednesday, June 7th with special guests Heart Hunters. This show is hosted by Eddie Owen Presents.

Gaelynn has been bewitching scores of fans with her experimental and ambient takes on fiddle music, an approach that incorporates her love of traditional tunes, songwriting, poetry and sonic exploration.

Of her live performances, Gaelynn Lea said, “My aim is to create a meditative, layered sound that allows the listener’s mind to drift.”

Gaelynn’s work most recently won NPR Music’s Tiny Desk Contest in March of 2016, a competition drawing submissions of original songs from more than 6,000 musicians across the country. Gaelynn Lea’s musical reach quickly expanded because of the Tiny Desk Contest. She began touring nationally in September 2016, and in December 2016 she performed in Europe for the first time as support for Low’s Christmas tour. This will be her second time performing at the Red Clay Music Foundry in Duluth, Georgia.

Gaelynn Lea and her husband Paul and I have traveled to 37 states and 5 countries so far; she has performed over 150 shows since they hit the road back in October.

"One of my favorite parts of touring is that we’ve met a lot of wonderful people during our travels," says Gaelynn. "I am looking forward to returning to Duluth, GA... I am hoping to see some familiar faces and meeting new people as well."

She will be joined by special guest Heart Hunters for this performance, which starts at 7:30pm.
This show is all ages.

Tickets are $18 and are available for advance purchase online.
