PATIO SHOW: Kristen EnglenzPresented by The Grey Eagle and Worthwhile SoundsALL AGES Kristen Englenz – 4PM DOORS / 5PM SHOW – ALL AGES – OUTDOOR PATIO SHOW – LIMITED PATIO SEATING IS FIRST COME FIRST SERVED KRISTEN ENGLENZ East Nashville indie artist, Kristen Englenz, paints musical stories both intimately aching and defiant with hope. A misfit renaissance woman, Englenz is a classically trained pianist, french hornist, guitarist, bird calling champion, and visual artist.
 She's also a UNC Asheville grad! Roots music journal No Depression called Englenz’s music “stream of consciousness Beat poetry imbued with good-down-home Southern sensibility.” And Stomp and Stammer said, "There is a stirring intimacy to these performances that holds you in their grasp." 
Englenz’s debut album, ingénue, was recorded in Nashville by three-time Grammy nominee and producer Ken Coomer, former drummer for Wilco. It includes a collaboration with five-time Grammy winning gospel legends, The Blind Boys of Alabama, recorded at FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals. Englenz attributes her melodies to be partially inspired by the natural world. Her interest in environmental activism is shared in her popular web series “Caterwauling with Kristen” where she mimics birdcalls and teaches about avian species. “I don't know why a certain chord progression makes us want to cry or to laugh,” says Englenz. “If we figured that out, we would probably understand birds and nature much better!”
