Adrianne Lenker (born July 9, 1991) is an American singer, songwriter, and guitarist. Raised in a Minnesota Christian cult and trained in classical guitar before she was old enough to vote, she writes songs like they’re secret doorways—tender, precise, and cracked wide open. As frontwoman of Big Thief and in her solo work, Lenker makes music that feels like eavesdropping on a prayer. Lenker’s music is a resistance to the status quo of corporate sponsorship and proprietary performance. She sings like she’s trying to remember something she once promised herself she'd never forget. Her songs are lullabies for the undone—filled with pine needles, late light, open wounds, and grace.
