Lucy Dacus @ Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park in Grand Rapids

About the artist

"Lucy Dacus" is a singer and songwriter who emerged from the thriving indie rock scene of Richmond, Virginia in the mid-2010s. She sports a buttery voice that commands both her thoughtful rock tunes and more intimate confessionals. Born and raised in Mechanicsville just outside of Richmond, her mother was a music teacher, and Dacus grew up singing. She began writing regularly via journaling in the sixth grade, and attended concerts, connecting with the Richmond music scene throughout high school. After graduating, she tried studying film at Virginia Commonwealth University with a plan to make music on the side, but soon dropped out and concentrated on writing songs. Lucy Dacus has been reviewed in some of the best music publications and topped 2016 artists-to-watch lists. She's come far in a short time.
