Your weekend arts forecast: Christie Lenee at Hideaway, arts and crafts from Glasgow

It’s always reason to celebrate when Tampa native and Asheville resident Christie Lenee comes home for a concert. And when this almost indescribable acoustic guitarist plays at the Hideaway Café – as she does tonight (Thursday, March 10) – the combination of stellar musicianship and world-class listening room checks all the boxes.

Let’s count Lenee’s accolades: Named “One of the Best Acoustic Guitarists in the World Right Now” by Guitar World (2020); voted Acoustic Guitarist of the Year by England’s Music Radar (2019). In 2017 she took 1st Place at the International Fingerstyle Guitar Championship.
