Double Feature: Christie Lenée and Kenny White

Christie Lenée—Acoustic Guitarist of the Year and one of Guitar World’s “Best Acoustic Guitarists in the World Right Now”—delivers a concert experience that’s as technically dazzling as it is emotionally uplifting. Called “a firecracker [on] a high-wire circus routine” (Guitar Player Magazine), Lenée mixes fingerstyles, two-hand tapping, and improvised percussion to push the limits of acoustic performance. Her shows radiate joy, and celebrate life and love. Her compositions are epic — almost symphonic in their lush and effortless execution. Christie held the Project in awe at our Acoustic Getaway. She’s your rare chance to experience immersive guitar playing at its peak.

Kenny White is the consummate entertainer, an extraordinary pianist, poet, and master storyteller that Troubadour fans will recall from his winning performance as opener and sideman to Cheryl Wheeler when he left quite an impression — moving us from roaring laughter to heartfelt reflection, often within a single song. Our audience asked for Kenny’s return as a full feature and we’re more than happy to comply. Praised as “Mark Twain with a piano” and renowned for touring with Judy Collins and Stephen Stills, Kenny brings his razor-sharp lyrics, rich musical history, and electric stage presence to life. With a career spanning hits with Peter Wolf, film soundtracks, and iconic ad jingles, Kenny now shines center stage.
