Lucy featured on The Career Podcast

Delighted to be featured on The Career Podcast! This show is meant for any aspiring musician or artist who is learning about where they “fit in” in the music business aaaand where they don’t and absolutely shouldn’t have to ever ever ever fit in! Nomad (the host) speaks and lives with an incredibly motivational passion and love for what he does. You can hear us blab about holding onto that, building skill and remaining kind (even in tough times when you know you can be easily replaced). Of course a little jump around my career seeps through.

My dear quarantinees...

My dear quarantinees, 

As I strive to try new things and face fears while maintaining structure and routine, I attempt...cooking. This was good for me to do. I have the time now. I want to do things I can't do in hotel rooms on the road. I want to feel human.

Aftermath: The quiche didn't turn out great but it was no fault of mine. I can PROUDLY state that the recipe was not a good one! In the words of Aaliyah, I am picking myself up, dusting myself off and trying again. 

As our world has been shaken up, I will continue to look for silver linings everywhere. Even in the burnt quinoa quiche crust.

Lucy featured in Birds of Prey Movie trailer

Check out my cover of "It's Oh So Quiet" in the trailer for the new Birds of Prey movie (starring Margot Robbie and my goddess hero Rosie Perez)! You can hear the whole song here. Oh, not everyone knows this but my cover of this song was also featured in this scene in Disney’s Ice Princess in 2005. And a few months ago it was featured in a Renault ad! More cool history: if you want to hear the original from 1948 in German, here is Harry (Horst) Winter singing it. But Betty Hutton made a serious dent when she recorded it in 1951. Clearly, this version inspired Bjork’s 1995 version we all know and love. This is one rabbit hole I love…

Royal Albert Hall, London - tomorrow!

Charlie Hunter and I had a beautiful time opening for our Snarky Puppy friends this past week. Nothing has changed since I started making music with those boys back in 2011. It really hasn’t. Community, integrity and being absolutely in love what they do thrives now - more than ever. Throw me and Charlie in the mix and we are a bunch of mushy peas in a big ol’ pod (in the shape of a tour bus). We open for them in Royal Albert Hall tomorrow night and I am a bit emo about it. My dad will be in attendance and he conducted the BBC Singers in the very same hall in the 70’s so there’s that…

Lucy feat. on Loud noise podcast!

Check out my interview on the Loud Noise Podcast! Steve Walsh asks the right questions: what makes creative people tick and how we become who we are. We both came up in the musical playground of NYC at a time where you plunge into music with reckless abandon. You don’t even think about it. It’s at your doorstep and on the other side of every subway turnstile. I talk about the early days where you just sing ALL the damn time. The night where I sang for Ahmet Ertegun at Atlantic Records, signed to Warner Chappell and how the days of developing an artist were a REAL thing, working with my first “professional” writer and a whole bunch of stuff that’s happened since. If you like storytelling, voila. LISTEN HERE on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.
