Lexi Weege is no stranger to the road. The Western Mass-based powerhouse singer/songwriter grew up in a traveling Cabaret troupe, and she’s been on the move ever since. After years of touring and three full-length releases with her band Weege & The Wondertwins, Lexi is releasing her third solo album in 2022. Combining the best of classic country, Motown, and soul, Weege's original songs are full of spirit.

Whether she’s crooning a heartbroken ballad or belting out the blues, Lexi Weege's dexterous voice is at the heart of it all. Her acrobatic vocals soar high and plunge low, tugging at your heartstrings. Expect to dance, and maybe shed a bittersweet tear, too. Weege is a gifted storyteller.

Her nearly twenty years of experience is evident in the craft of her songwriting, and in the bold confidence she exudes onstage. Lexi Weege's six releases, national tours, and hundreds of shows have happened independently, without any label backing. A true believer in the power of DIY, Weege is surely an old soul, and one of a kind.

“Weege recently tried out for American Idol, the singing competition show and her audition will be part of the series season opener that will air on ABC at 8 p.m. Now in its 20th year, the popular series has launched the careers of Carrie Underwood, Kelly Clarkson and Adam Lambert, among others. How will all this turn out for Weege? Will she move forward in the competition?

‘All I’m really allowed to say right now is that I auditioned for American Idol and that you’ll have to tune in to see how I did!’ she wrote in a recent email, referring to the network’s restriction on contestants communicating with the press before the show airs.” - SHERYL HUNTER. Daily Hampshire Gazette

Lexi will be joined at The Packing House by JJ Slater.

JJ Slater is born and bred New Englander, so naturally has a song for every season. With close collaborators, most notably including Dan Bisson on upright, he produces blankets of sound wrapping heartfelt, ethereal songwriting- all with an undeniable earthy funk and dexterous guitar.
