## Key points

- Lennon Stella played live again after six years away.
- A stripped-back Nashville set highlighted *Sleeping Lion*.
- The intimate show was part of a few select dates.

## Summary

Lennon Stella returned to live performance after a six-year hiatus with an intimate Nashville show at The Blue Room, supporting her second album, *Sleeping Lion*. The stripped-back format brought the album’s vulnerability into focus and showed how the songs can connect without elaborate staging.

Stella performed with minimal accompaniment, including guitars and clarinet, while the close audience joined in with harmonies and conversation. The show was part of a small run of appearances in Nashville, Los Angeles, New York and Toronto; although The Blue Room can record some performances directly to vinyl, Stella’s set was not recorded.
