Gaelynn Lea with special guest TBA

Classically trained violinist and songwriter Gaelynn Lea has been bewitching scores of fans with her haunting original songs and experimental takes on traditional fiddle music. Her work most recently won NPR Musics 2016 Tiny Desk Contest, a competition drawing submissions of original songs from more than 6,000 musicians across the country.

On March 3, 2016, Gaelynn Lea was named the winner of NPR Musics second-ever Tiny Desk Contest. The video entry of her original song Someday Well Linger in the Sun rose to the top of over 6,100 submissions from around the nation, chosen as the unanimous favorite among the contests six judges. The very next week, Gaelynn performed a moving Tiny Desk Concert, at which the shows host Bob Boilen said there was hardly a dry eye.

Gaelynn Leas musical reach has expanded significantly because of the Tiny Desk Contest. She began touring nationally in September 2016 with her husband Paul in their 2002 Ford Econline and theyve been on the road ever since!
