Gaelynn Lea at the 318 Cafe
We don't even know how to be cool about this, because obviously Gaelynn Lea leaves the staff at the 318 feeling a little bit star struck and a whole lot of lucky. Between her extraordinary songwriting, phenomenal musicianship, and incredible advocacy, Gaelynn Lea will render you breathless. OMG. Srsly. Get your tickets now.
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!
Gaelynn also does speaking engagements about disability, finding inner freedom, and the power of music. Gaelynn has a congenital disability called Osteogenesis Imperfecta, or Brittle Bones Disease. In recent years, she has used her music as a platform to advocate for people with disabilities and to promote positive social change.
