Released last fall, Tampa bred singer-songwriter and fingerstyle guitarist Christie Lenée’s latest album Coming Alive has been described as a change of pace on her end.

This time around, Lenée decided that her Benatar-esque vocals—which sing out lyrics “of self-confidence and empowerment, [and] of renewal and light”—would carry most of the load, and that the guitar work would still be pertinent, but to a lesser extent.

She has been endorsed by Dave Matthews Band axeman Tim Reynolds, so her Gulfport performance is not to be missed.

Tickets to see Christie Lenée play Catherine A. Hickman Theatre in Gulfport on Friday, May 26 are still available and start at $25.
