Indie folk songstress Lucette will capture your heart with her gentle voice, both beautiful and haunting. Releasing her debut album, Black Is the Color, just over four months ago, the collection was produced and recorded by the acclaimed Dave Cobb (Sturgill Simpson, Jason Isbell) and is quickly approaching one million total plays on Spotify. In March 2015, Lucette will make her South by Southwest debut in Austin, TX with an official showcase and multiple appearances lined up. She will continue to tour throughout the States and Canada. 2014 saw Lucette taking to the road with Joe Ely, as well as Mason Jennings, Nikki Lane, David Ramirez and Jim Lauderdale. She ended the year as direct support on Sturgill Simpson’s nearly sold-out fall tour. Full of emotion, her performances take audiences back to the days when artists such as Neil Young, Emmylou Harris, and Loretta Lynn dominated the airwaves.

Red Cabin is the solo project of Long Island musician Jonathan Foster, what started as a few songs became enough material for a full length very quickly, and the result was “Right This Way,” Red Cabin’s first release which is filled with indie power-pop jingles with hints of Weezer and The Shins.
