Danni Lee: "Truth Teller" Album Release Show w/Caroline Shaw ALL AGES Danni Lee Ages 12+ | Bar w/ID | All sales are final. Danni Lee is a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist based in Portland, Oregon. Known for her live performance energy and witty stage banter, Danni Lee’s shows combine a taste of stand-up comedy with a main course of live music. Between sending her ukulele through electric guitar pedals, or playing her acoustic guitar with a violin bow, her latest album, Truth Teller (October 2021), breaks the rules about how instruments are “supposed” to be played. Whether you laugh or cry—or both—her soul-baring and thoughtful lyrics will be stuck in your head for weeks and weeks. Caroline Shaw is a New York-based musician—vocalist, violinist, composer, and producer—who performs in solo and collaborative projects. She was the youngest recipient of the Pulitzer Prize for Music in 2013 for Partita for 8 Voices, written for the Grammy-winning Roomful of Teeth, of which she is a member. Recent commissions include new works for Renée Fleming with Inon Barnatan, Dawn Upshaw with Sō Percussion and Gil Kalish, Seattle Symphony, Anne Sofie von Otter with Philharmonia Baroque, the LA Philharmonic, Juilliard 415, the Orchestra of St. Luke’s with John Lithgow, the Dover Quartet, TENET, The Crossing, the Mendelssohn Club of Philadelphia, the Calidore Quartet, Brooklyn Rider, the Baltimore Symphony, and Roomful of Teeth with A Far Cry. Caroline’s film scores include Erica Fae’s To Keep the Light and Josephine Decker’s Madeline’s Madeline as well as the upcoming short 8th Year of the Emergency by Maureen Towey. She has produced for Kanye West (The Life of Pablo; Ye) and Nas (NASIR), and has contributed to records by The National, and by Arcade Fire’s Richard Reed Parry. Once she got to sing in three part harmony with Sara Bareilles and Ben Folds at the Kennedy Center, and that was pretty much the bees’ knees and elbows. Caroline has studied at Rice, Yale, and Princeton, currently teaches at NYU, and is a Creative Associate at the Juilliard School. She has held residencies at Dumbarton Oaks, the Banff Centre, Music on Main, and the Vail Dance Festival. Caroline loves the color yellow, otters, Beethoven opus 74, Mozart opera, Kinhaven, the smell of rosemary, and the sound of a janky mandolin. Danni Lee The Old Church Concert Hall is Portland's cultural living room and sanctuary of sound.
