Who is Lena Fine?
Lena Fine is an indie folk/rock musician based in Philadelphia, PA. Born and raised in northern New Jersey, Lena began writing music at age 14, taking nods and inspiration from the likes of Soccer Mommy, Pinegrove, and Liz Phair. Moving to Philadelphia when she was 19, she’s spent the past four years sowing seeds and growing roots in the Philly DIY scene. Playing in basements all over the city and graduating to bigger venues like World Cafe Live, The Foundry, and Milkboy, Lena has made the city her stage and grown a close community of collaborators and fans. So far, Lena has had the privilege of opening up for Kate Yeager, Grace Gardner, and Frances Forever on their respective tours.
With the release of her latest record, Slow Crawl Towards the Sun, Lena finally shared the work and the world she’s spent the past four years of her life in music building. The record is a nine track exploration of her personal sound set to themes of desire, friendship, and all the grief and frustration that come from knowing your worth in the arena of love. A week after releasing Slow Crawl Towards the Sun, Lena temporarily relocated to Madrid, where she’s spent the past three months learning the power of music and how it transcends language and playing a handful of shows, both as a headline and a supporting act. In the wake of her release and travels, Lena is rocking out with her band around Philly and New York and taking a lot of long walks.
““Stucktober” is singable, head-bangable, and irrevocably Lucy Dacus-esque, all while staying true to Fine’s unique indie sensibilities.” - Roni Birchak, WXPN
“(...) inspired by Soccer Mommy’s relatability and Joni Mitchell’s storytelling ability, Lena Fine’s relatable lyrics and dazzling vocals have been compared to that of Lucy Dacus and Julia Jacklin.” - Camille Mola, Positive Publicity
