Lenka is an Australian singer-songwriter and performer whose unique blend of emotive pop and experimental sound has captured the hearts of listeners worldwide. With a music career spanning two decades, she first rose to prominence as a member of the critically acclaimed band Decoder Ring, before embarking on a successful solo journey that has seen her release multiple albums, tour internationally, and build a devoted global fanbase with feverish fandom in Asia especially. Lenka has also appeared in various Australian TV shows and films in her early acting career, including Working Dog’s The Dish.

Fourteen albums, two Grammy nominations, nearly a dozen major awards and more than four decades into a career like no other, Sonny Landreth is an artist who’s found a different way to play guitar and then some. Music journalists have called the singer/songwriter/bandleader/slide guitar virtuoso everything from “an innovator on the order of Eddie Van Halen” (All About Jazz) to “one of the finest guitarists America has ever produced” (Rock & Blues Muse), while artists that include John Hiatt, Jimmy Buffett, Mark Knopfler, Bonnie Raitt and Eric Clapton – who’s famously said, “Sonny Landreth is probably the most underestimated musician on the planet, and also one of the most advanced” – consider him an invaluable colleague, collaborator and bonafide guitar hero.

For the Lafayette, Louisiana native, it’s a journey of remarkable musicianship that began with his first guitar at age 12. By his 20’s he was sitting in with local Creole and Cajun musicians and would soon become the first white member of Clifton Chenier’s legendary Red Hot Louisiana Band. “Being raised in a community where music is such a huge part of the culture,” Landreth explains, “loving Robert Johnson and Duane Allman as much as Mozart, I just absorbed every one of those influences and somehow crystallized it into my own style.”
