Duluth artist and National Public Radio’s 2016 Tiny Desk Contest winner Gaelynn Lea will be headlining the free outdoor stage at 1 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 25, during the Austin ArtWorks Festival.

Lea, who performs from her electric wheelchair, began playing violin 20 years ago after a creative music teacher helped her to adapt a playing style that suited her frame. Lea holds the instrument like a cello and uses a looping pedal top perform her original songs.

Lea has released three studio albums; a fourth album is scheduled for release in September.

Also performing on the outdoor stage are the Austin Symphony Orchestra, Funktion Junction, Freedom Jazz, The Tinder Box, Wicked Renegades, Ventura Highway, Moonrise Blue, Chloe Hope and Greenfingers.

Along with the outdoor stage, an acoustic stage will be located in the Paramount Annex. Acts for the acoustic stage include Stringendo, Annex Sound, Lawhead Duo, Reminisce, Trio Sen Nome, Cedar River Strings, Ecumenical Bells, Con Fuoco and the Sue-Em Duo.

Whalen and the Willows plus friends will be performing during the afternoon of Saturday, Aug. 25, in the alley behind Dusty’s Bar and Lounge.

Puddles Pity Party will headline the Dick Schindler Celebration Concert at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 25, at the Paramount Theatre. Tickets are $25 thanks to support from Mayo Clinic Health System in Austin. Reserved seating is currently 67 percent sold out.
