Biography
"Singing is like breathing for me,just natural!"
Lucy

Onstage from the age of 6,Lucy can't really remember a time when singing wasn't part of her everyday life!
Touring in performance choir,& gospel groups in her teens,gave her a firm foundation for her future in music.
Entering the world of professional performing in her 20's,Lucy toured the NW in several bands throughout the 80's(Cobalt Blues Band,Geneva,Loose Talk)
Motherhood arrived & she traded her gig bag for a diaper bag,determined to give it her all! As the kids got older,the pull to return to her first love,performing,got stronger.Reconnecting with a former bandmate & studio owner,Keith Sommers,ignited the spark to move forward & record.Finding no marquis players willing to take a chance on an unknown,she assembled her team from various musician's classifieds,& began rehearsals.
The all original CD "Proof" is the result of that effort. "Proof" hit #1 on the Roots Music Charts(Or.) 11/4/11,& remained in the top 10 over 12 weeks.To date it has received airplay on over 100 shows worldwide.
Currently working on her next release,Lucy anticipates a mid summer 2012 release date.
