Lucy Wainwright Roche

She has been compared to Joni Mitchell and Patty Griffin by NPR was born in NYC into an influential musical family (she's the daugher of Loudon Wainwright III and Suzzy Roche, the niece of Maggie and Terre Roche and of Sloan Wainwright, and the half-sister of Rufus and Martha Wainwright). She rebelled against the family business by teaching elementary school for several years before getting involved in music. Since 2007, Lucy has released two EPs and a studio album entitled Lucy (2010), toured the U.S., Canada and Europe, and has performed with a number of musicians including the Indigo Girls, Neko Case, and Over the Rhine, as well as touring extensively with Rufus Wainwright, Dar Williams, and Girlyman.\Lucy is known for her crystal clear voice and straightforward, funny stage presence.

In early 2009, Lucy's song "Snare Drum" won the 8th Annual Independent Music Awards for Best Folk/Singer-Songwriter Song. In 2008, Lucy was one of the winners of the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival's "Emerging Artist" competition. Again in 2009, she was one of six winners of the Grassy Hill Kerrville Folk Festival's "New Folk Singer/Songwriter Competition".
