Since winning NPR Music’s Tiny Desk Contest in 2016, Gaelynn Lea has captivated audiences around the world with her haunting original songs and traditional fiddle tunes. Over the years, she has collaborated and performed with many notable artists such as Michael Stipe (REM), The Decemberists, Wilco, LOW, and the industrial rock supergroup Pigface. In 2022, Gaelynn Lea composed and recorded the original score for Macbeth on Broadway, starring Daniel Craig and Ruth Negga. Thanks to a recent Whippoorwill Arts Fellowship, her theatrically-inspired soundtrack is set to be released in Spring 2025. A tour for this new album will take place in the UK soon afterwards. Music aside, Gaelynn Lea is a sought-after public speaker about accessibility in the arts. One of Gaelynn Lea’s biggest passions is promoting Disability Culture. To that end, she helped to co-found RAMPD [Recording Artists and Music Professionals with Disabilities] with NYC-based recording artist Lachi The mission of this fast-growing global network of disabled music professionals is to amplify Disability Culture, promote equitable inclusion & advocate for accessibility in the music industry. Currently, Gaelynn Lea is writing a book about her touring adventures & disability advocacy that has been acquired by Algonquin Books and will be published late next year. Linger in the Sun is a love-letter to every body; a warm, funny and deeply-felt memoir about disability, music, and the messy creativity of an artist’s life.
