Description
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be in a band with your mother? Suzzy Roche and Lucy Wainwright Roche have been touring together for a few years now. Their recording Fairytale and Myth, the first collaboration between them, won the Vox Pop best singer/songwriter CD for the Independent Music Awards. They have a brand new CD called Mud and Apples. The album is a mix of brand new original songs as well-loved cover songs by such icons as Joni Mitchell and Stevie Nicks. Mesmerizing harmonies, and pure singing! The mother/daughter show is a fun filled evening of smart, thoughtful, songs with plenty of familial harmonies.
