Andrew Allen & Christie Lenee

The Calgary Folk Club Presents Andrew Allen and Christie Lenee

Christie Lenée
It’s a rare honour for artists to be invited to the Club twice in eighteen months, but that speaks to the waves Christie Lenée created on her debut in March, 2025 with Katie Marie. Continuing to celebrate her sixth album, Coming Alive, the award-winning singer-songwriter-guitarist returns to wow us with her thrilling acoustic guitar and inspiring, uplifting songs. Named “Best Acoustic Guitarist in the World Right Now” by Guitar World magazine in 2021 and counting the peerless Tommy Emmanuel among her fans, her status as a musician is unassailable. But more importantly, as critic Scott Hopkins observed: “The message in the music of Christie Lenée is crystal-clear and unambiguous. And that message is a celebration of life, love and joy. The elation in her voice… and her brilliant guitar playing all point directly to that message.”

Special Guest: Andrew Allen
If you’re wondering why Andrew Allen, a neighbour from Vernon BC, is not on the folk music radar screen, you’re not alone. He built a career as a consummate pop songwriter who is signed to Sony/ATV and has released many singles, including a collaboration with Carly Rae Jepsen. Pivoting to deliver keynote concerts with character-driven songs in a deeper, more mature style, he is a solo performer whose moving lyrics will command your attention. This is his CFC debut.
