Lucy Kaplansky
We end our 56th Season with acclaimed singer-songwriter Lucy Kaplansky, who the New Yorker called “a truly gifted performer with a bagful of enchanting songs.” Lucy has released 9 critically acclaimed CD’s, two of which were awarded Best Pop Album of the year by the Association of Independent Music. NPR described her 2012 album Reunion as “a master class in making the personal universal,” and Scott Simon of National Public Radio called her new album, Last Days of Summer, released in June 2022, “Absolutely wonderful . . . utterly beautiful and affecting . . . Lucy sings songs from her life with resonance in ours.”
Concert starts at 8:00 pm
Lucy Kaplansky was part of the folk supergroup Cry Cry Cry with Dar Williams and Richard Shindell and their album was an astonishing success in stores and on radio in a national tour of sold-out concerts, as well as a sold-out reunion tour in 2018.
Her recording of Roxy Music’s “More than This” has over 12 million streams on Spotify. She’s been featured on CBS Sunday Morning, BBC Radio 2 and 4, and NPR’s All Things Considered, Weekend Edition and Morning Edition. Lucy has sung harmony on albums by Suzanne Vega, Bryan Ferry, Nanci Griffith and Shawn Colvin. Her song “Guilty as Sin” was featured in the NBC TV show “Ed,” and he vocals were featured in the Tom Cruise film “The Firm.”
She has just released her 10th album, The Lucy Story. It’s a double album of mostly unreleased tracks that form a retrospective of her long career that has brought her to major concert halls and small clubs all over the US and Europe.
We can’t wait to welcome Lucy back to the intimate stage at the Me&Thee! We’ll see you there.
