Lucy Wainwright Roche

Artist Description

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

Lucy Wainwright Roche grew up in Greenwich Village, New York City. She is the daughter of two performing musicians, Loudon Wainwright and Suzzy Roche (The Roches). Her childhood was spent living out of a suitcase, either on the road, with her parents or being ferried around to different relatives in her big musical clan. In a family of rebels, she proved most rebellious by completing her Master’s Degree in Education and has spent several years teaching second and third grade in New York City. Described by The New York Times as having the best qualities of both her parents and a voice “clear as a bell”, Lucy has toured the US doing solo shows and opening for many different musician from Dar Williams to her brother Rufus. In 2007, Lucy released her first recording, an EP entitled 8 Songs. In the spring of 2008, she will release her second EP.
