An Evening with Gaelynn Lea - Folk Singer, Violinist & Disability Advocate

An Evening with Gaelynn Lea - Folk Singer, Violinist & Disability Advocate

Presented by Jules' Bistro at Jules' Bistro

ONLY 40 TICKETS AVAILABLE FOR THIS VERY SPECIAL PERFORMANCE
Based in Duluth, Minnesota, Gaelynn Lea is a folk singer and violinist classically trained in Celtic and American fiddle traditions. Born with a congenital disability called Osteogenesis Imperfecta, or Brittle Bones Disease, she invented a new way to play her instrument, holding her violin upright as one would a cello.

Tickets are $10 in advance. If any tickets remain on the day of the performance, they will be $15 at the door. Because this is a more formal performance than most of our live music at Jules’, we encourage you to arrive early (before 6:30 pm) so that you may order food and drinks before the performance begins.

We wish to keep ticket prices for this event low so that it is accessible to everyone. If you like, you may make an additional freewill gift at the show in support of Gaelynn Lea, her message and her artistry.
