Lena Marie Schiffer is a folk singer and songwriter based in Livingston, Montana. She has carved a notable niche in the music industry, touring nationally for ten years with her former band Laney Lou and the Bird Dogs, and now playing under her own name. Lena writes original lyrics that offer deeply personal reflections and insightful observations of the world, creating a connection with her audience wherever she goes. Her innate ability to relate to others drives her passion to write and share her songs.

In 2024, Lena began developing her eponymous project that leans into folk, indie, and Americana influences. She paired up with Ani Casabonne on fiddle, and together they have formed a duo that is bound by a natural chemistry that is undeniable when hearing them play. 

Lena and Ani also play in a trio with bass player, Kailey Marie, under the name Honeyholler. United by a love for country grit and folk tradition, this group delivers powerful three-part harmonies backed by guitar, upright bass, and fiddle for a sound that’s both raw and uplifting

Outside of performing, Lena founded the Yellowstone Women’s Music Collective, which aims to uplift and highlight the voices of female and femme musicians in Montana. In her free time she is an avid fisherwoman, food lover, and an explorer of Montana’s wild landscapes.
