ABOUT

Lena Rich is a rising americana artist known for her commanding voice, vivid lyrics, and melodies that stay with you. With songs that celebrate the beauty of the natural world, the depth of human connection, and the magic of moments that stick, Lena gracefully dances between catchy melodies and poignant storytelling, offering an entirely unique sound inspired by folk traditions. Having shared the stage with artists such as Anais Mitchell and Antje Duvekot and played festivals such as Red Ants Pants and Ossipee Valley, Lena is already making her way as a distinctive singer/songwriter in the folk landscape. 

A graduate of Oberlin College & Conservatory, Lena designed her own major, pulling from elements of music composition, poetry, and performance. She double majored in politics and is drawn to the correlation between the arts and politics.

As a recipient of the National Parks artist in residency grant in Capitol Reef, Utah, she spent a month living alone in the desert writing and recording. She is currently working on a record with the music from her residency featuring collaborations with Bozeman artists and production from Juniper Sound in NYC, slated to be released in the fall of 2025.
