LADY TYRANT RELEASE PARTY (The all-women issue of the New York Tyrant) WHEN: Saturday, June 28th, 9 pm WHERE: Bar Nine, 807 Ninth Avenue, between 53rd and 54th Streets; C,E to 50th Street; NRQW to 57th Street; 212.BAR.NINE A $10 cover includes a copy of the latest issue of Lady Tyrant and a portion of the proceeds goes to Girls Write Now. Show includes: Lucy Wainwright Roche, 10pm The Choke, 11pm *** Lucy Wainwright Roche: Lucy Wainwright Roche grew up in Greenwich Village, New York City. She is the daughter of two performing musicians, Loudon Wainwright and Suzzy Roche (The Roches). Her childhood was spent living out of a suitcase, either on the road, with her parents or being ferried around to different relatives in her big musical clan. Described by The New York Times as having the best qualities of both her parents and a voice "clear as a bell", Lucy is a refreshing, pure, alternative to the jive pop culture, alarmingly straightforward and unadorned. In the past year Lucy has toured the US doing solo shows and opening for many musicians from Dar Williams to her brother Rufus. In 2007 Lucy released her first recording, an EP entitled "8 Songs", and in the spring of 2008 she released her second EP, "8 More". www.myspace.com/lwrlwr | ||
