Lucy Wainwright Roche

Clearly a member of music family royalty, Lucy Wainwright Roche released her first full-length album, titled, LUCY late last year. LUCY has proved to be well worth the wait. Special guest singers include pals Girlyman and the Indigo Girls as well as The Roches and Loudon Wainwright and Kelly Hogan. Backed by great musicians including: Steuart Smith (The Eagles) and David Mansfield, and produced by LWR and Stewart Lerman, the album features ten new original songs and a cover of a classic Paul Simon song, plus a surprising bonus track which features This American Life's Ira Glass.

Her tales of life as seen from the road are masterfully told. She moves in and out of stories and song, creating a unique tapestry, weaving the ordinary into the magical, and she brings us all along with her. You won't hear a false note from this shining star. She can simultaneously be heartbreaking in a good way -- and funny --Lucy's a masterful performer. She's a straight shooter, simple and direct, with loads of charm, but watch out, her hauntingly angelic voice and wickedly perceptive songs will get you every time.

"Sincere and raw at times recalling Joni Mitchell and Patti Griffin, Roche's bittersweet voice jumps out; she paints an indelible image." - NPR Song of the Day

"…her clear, steady voice feels like a beacon of sorts, slicing straight through the room." - New York Times

Lucy grew up in Greenwich Village, New York City, amidst a family of musicians. Her father is Loudon Wainwright, her mother is Suzzy Roche of The Roches. But she had other plans for herself. She always thought she'd be a teacher and she earned her Master's Degree in Education in 2007. She hit the road to sing back up with her brother, Rufus Wainwright on his 2007 tour. Since then she's recorded two critically acclaimed EPs "8 Songs" and "8 More" which have been wholeheartedly embraced by her fans. She's won hearts opening for Neko Case, The Indigo Girls, Rufus Wainwright, Girlyman, Amos Lee, Lucy Kaplansky, Dar Williams, Mary Gauthier, Loudon Wainwright, The Roches among others. She has also toured England, the US and Canada as her own headliner.
