Lucy Wainwright Roche

15th December, 2009

Lucy Wainwright Roche was born into songwriting royalty as the daughter of Suzzy Roche (of The Roches) and Loudon Wainwright III. Even in such an artistically talented family - half-brother Rufus Wainwright and half-sister Martha Wainwright are both successful musicians - Roche remains unique. Her voice sounds more delicate than that of her sister Martha, and her songs feel less theatrical than those of her brother Rufus.

Roche was once a elementary schoolteacher in New York City, but when Rufus Wainwright asked her to join him on tour as a background vocalist, she caught the performing bug. Life on the road soon took over, and she has released two EPs since: 8 Songs and then 8 More.

She will perform at the Tocun Club on March 21st
