Adrianne Elizabeth Lenker (born July 9, 1991) is an American musician. She is the lead vocalist, guitarist and principal songwriter of the band Big Thief.
Early life
Lenker was born in Indianapolis and was raised in a Christian cult until the age of four,[1][2] but primarily grew up in Minnesota. Her parents rented homes in Coon Rapids, Nisswa, and Bloomington, Minnesota, before settling down in Plymouth, Minnesota, where she lived for 10 years, excluding a brief time spent in Santa Cruz, California. She spent a summer traveling throughout the midwest and living out of a Ford cargo van.[3]
Lenker wrote her first song at the age of eight, and recorded her first album at age 13.[3] Her other interests included studying martial arts, and she was the state karate champion three years in a row.Шаблон:Fact She moved to Santa Cruz for a year and a half, living with a family friend and working at a local McDonalds. She’s dropped out of Santa Cruz High School halfway into her sophomore year, moved back to Plymouth, and got her GED at the age of 16.[3] She attended the Berklee College of Music on a scholarship provided by Susan Tedeschi of the Tedeschi Trucks Band.[4]
Career
On February 28, 2006, when Lenker was 14, she released her first solo album, Stages of the Sun.[5] On January 9, 2014, Lenker released her second solo album, Hours Were the Birds.[6]
On May 1, 2014, Lenker, together with future bandmate Buck Meek, released the LP records a-sides and b-sides.[7] In 2015, Lenker and Meek, alongside Max Oleartchik and James Krivchenia, formed the band Big Thief, whose first album was released in 2016.[8]
Lenker released her third solo album, Abysskiss, on October 5, 2018.[9][10]
On October 23, 2020, Lenker released her two most recent albums, Songs and Instrumentals.[11]
Personal life
Lenker met the future Big Thief co-founder Buck Meek at a concert when she lived in Boston, and then she encountered him again in a bodega the day she moved to New York.[12][8] The pair began to play together, and married when Lenker was 24.[12] They divorced in 2018, remaining in Big Thief as "deep friends".[12] In 2019, Lenker was in a relationship with the artist Indigo Sparke, and the two separated sometime in 2020.[12][13][14]
While Lenker is comfortable with the label "queer", she has expressed a desire not to define her sexual orientation beyond that.[12] Her lyrics often contain discussions of gender and the gender binary. In an interview with The Brag, Lenker said of those lyrics, "I feel within myself a constant dialogue between my masculinity, my femininity and the part of me that is neither of those things. I'm just trying to talk about it because I feel like I'm something that is very ambiguous."[15]
