Lucy Kaplansky

w/ special guest

Tripping Lily

An Outpost favorite, Lucy began her career singing in Chicago bars. Then, barely out of high school, she took off for New York City where she found a fertile community of songwriters and performers — Suzanne Vega, John Gorka, Bill Morrissey, Cliff Eberhardt, and others — and fit right in. With a flair for harmony, Lucy became everyone’s favorite singing partner, but most often she found herself singing as a duo with Shawn Colvin. That ended when Lucy temporarily left the musical fast track to pursue a doctorate in Psychology and open her own private practice.

Now, after returning to recording and performing full-time, Kaplansky’s voice continues to remain in high demand by her peers, including Dar Williams and Richard Shindell with whom she formed the supergroup Cry Cry Cry, releasing an album by the same name which The New Yorker dubbed “a collection of lovely harmonizing and pure emotion.”

Lucy’s rising popularity has led to appearances on the CBS Morning Show, NPR’s Weekend and Morning Editions, Mountain Stage, West Coast Live, Acoustic Cafe, and Vin Scelsa’s Idiot’s Delight. So much more than just a backup singer, Lucy has released six of her own albums. The most recent, Over the Hills, is a collection of songs that explores love and the dark, winding road that leads us there.

This show is a GREAT way to start off the New Year.

Tickets are an affordable $27.50 in advance and $32.00 day of show.
