Lucy Wainwright Roche

Those familiar with Lucy Wainwright Roche are aware of her bell tone voice, her unshakable melodies, and her knack for wise, wry lyrics that clench the heart. It’s no surprise that Wainwright Roche is the daughter of Suzzy Roche (The Roches) and Loudon Wainwright III, and half sibling to Rufus and Martha Wainwright. She grew up on the road, steeped in music.
​
Lucy has built her own audience as a touring singer/songwriter and recording artist, with critically acclaimed releases: Eight Songs, Eight More, Lucy, There’s a Last Time for Everything and Little Beast. Other recordings include a collaboration with her sister Martha Wainwright: Songs In the Dark, a collection of lullabies, and three duet recordings with her mother Suzzy Roche: Fairytale and Myth (winner of Vox Pop Independent Music Awards), Mud and Apples, and I Can Still Hear You.
​
Armed with a guitar, a deadpan sense of humor, killer songs, and a voice that makes tough guys cry, she’s built a solid following across the US and Europe. She has often opened shows for such luminaries as The Indigo Girls (and she sings in their band), Mary Chapin Carpenter, and Neko Case, and she’s one of a few who can step out alone in front of a thousand strangers and play an entire set to a rapt audience.
