Lucy Wainwright Roche & Suzzy Roche – Sunday Matinee of Mother-Daughter Harmonies

“Their voices intertwined in gorgeous union…mother and daughter had the room in the palms of their talented hands. This was a glittering gem of a show.” —The Chicago Tribune

Suzzy Roche and Lucy Wainwright Roche released their latest recording I Can Still Hear You in the fall of 2020. The album was largely recorded in the darkest hours of the COVID-19 shutdown in the spring of 2020 in NYC. After starting the recording in Nashville, with producer Jordan Hamlin, the mother/daughter team went back to New York City just as the city closed. They set up studios in their bedrooms (Lucy in Brooklyn, Suzzy in Manhattan) and finished the record. Hailed as “one of the year’s best” by Americana Highways, the new album has been met with high praise. Suzzy and Lucy have recorded two albums previously, Fairytale & Myth (Independent Music Award winner) and Mud & Apples (also nominated for IMA).

Those familiar with Lucy Wainwright Roche are aware of her bell-tone voice, her unshakable melodies, and her knack for wise, wry lyrics. It’s no surprise that Wainwright Roche is the daughter of Suzzy Roche (The Roches) and Loudon Wainwright III, half-sibling to Rufus and Martha Wainwright. Lucy has carved out her own career as a touring singer/songwriter and recording artist, with five critically acclaimed solo recordings released on her own label: 8 Songs, 8 More, Lucy, There’s a Last Time for Everything and her most recent Little Beast (Winner of the Independent Music Award for Best Singer/Songwriter.) Other recordings include a collaboration with her sister Martha Wainwright on Songs in the Dark, a collection of lullabies. She’s built a solid following across the U.S. and Europe for over a decade as a solo act, armed with a guitar, a deadpan sense of humor, insightful songs, and a voice that makes tough guys cry. As an opening act she has often appeared with such luminaries as The Indigo Girls, Mary Chapin Carpenter, and Neko Case. She’s one of a few people who can step out alone in front of a thousand strangers and play an entire set to a rapt audience.

Suzzy Roche is a singer/songwriter/performer/author and founding member of the singing group The Roches. She has recorded over eighteen albums, written music for TV and Film, and toured extensively for forty years across the U.S. and Europe. She has performed with the experimental theater troupe, The Wooster Group, for over twenty years. Her children’s book Want to Be in A Band? (Random House) was published in February 2013. Wayward Saints (Hyperion/Voice) is her first novel and was a selection of the Spring 2012 B&N Discover Great New Writers Program. Her most recent novel The Town Crazy was published in August of 2020.
