So far she has toured in 45 states and 9 countries\, captivating audiences around the world with her unique mix of haunting original songs and traditional fiddle tunes. Gaelynn Lea has appeared in several major festivals over the years\, including SXSW\, Winnipeg Folk Festival\, and Reykjavik Arts Festival. She has opened for well-known bands such as Wilco\, The Decemberists\, LOW\, The Jayhawks\, and the industrial rock supergroup Pigface. \n  \nGaelynn Lea poses with her violin.\nGaelynn Lea performs from her electric wheelchair. She began playing violin 26 years ago after a creative music teacher helped her to adapt a playing style that suits her frame. Lea holds her instrument like a tiny cello and loops her classically trained rhythms and melodies with her Memory Man pedal to create a “symphonic cacophony that is both glorious in its reach and profoundly introspective”. (Ear to the Ground) Her original songs explore the contrasting nature of existence—dark and light\, birth and death\, anger and forgiveness\, sorrow and joy. Gaelynn Lea’s “music is imbued with a melancholic poetry so potent it must be heard to be believed.” (Boston Globe) \n  \nIn addition to performing and recording\, Gaelynn also does speaking engagements about Disability Rights\, finding inner freedom\, and accessibility in the arts. In recent years\, she has used her music as a platform to advocate for people with disabilities and to promote positive social change. So far she’s been able to share her perspective on PBS NewsHour\, BBC World News\, The Moth Radio Hour\, and through two widely-viewed TEDx Talks. \nGaelynn Lea is currently working on a memoir about her touring adventures and disability advocacy that she plans to release in 2022. Since the Coronavirus pandemic halted her traveling\, Gaelynn has been performing a weekly concert on YouTube to fans who join her every Sunday afternoon from all over the world. \nAbout ART SPARK TEXAS\nArt Spark Texas challenges perceptions of how people contribute by creating an arts-inspired\, inclusive community of individuals with diverse abilities. \nIf you enjoy our Community Conversations Songwriting Series\, please consider making a Donation today.

At an early age\, he was exposed to the literary value of song form\, and formed his own unique style of storytelling. Appalachian grooves and melodies coupled with lyrics\, strange and beautiful. He encountered solid recognition for his talent and hard driving music and lyrical style for his first two solo records Whisky Priest and Tijuana Bible\, putting him into the upper realm of Austin rockers. His long awaited third installment\, Amateur Theater\, was released in the fall of 2019. \nThe highlight of his active schedule is hosting weekly songwriting and guitar workshop in San Marcos for Armed Forces veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress for a program he founded called Soldier Songs and Voices. It’s inspiring—it’s a beautiful thing.
