It's a title that tells you quite a bit about who she is before you even hear a note. Lucy started playing violin at the age of 4 and by the time she was 12 she was teaching the instrument. Then she started writing songs on guitar, and she hasn't looked back. Lucy grew up in the Bay Area, moved to LA, and spent some time in Berlin. She even learned enough German to write and record an entire album in the language. At the heart of this new record is something simple: a belief in community, connection, and the people who shape our lives. In our chat, we get into the long road to making a debut full-length; recording live to tape with producer Tyler Chester; writing songs about friendship, grief, and love, including one specifically about the perils of the intersection of friendship and love; and how a casual song-sharing night in her living room grew into an international network of musicians gathering in cities around the world. It's a record about relationships, and a conversation that keeps circling back to the same idea: that our lives are shaped far more by people than possessions. www.lucyclearwater.com Wanna get in touch?
