Lucy Dacus

In March 2016, when Lucy Dacus recorded her live session for Audiotree Live, she was positioned early in her music career, having just released her debut album, "No Burden," a month prior in February. This album, which featured thoughtful lyrics and a blend of indie rock with folk influences, garnered critical acclaim and established her as a significant emerging talent in the indie music scene. Dacus's witty songwriting and emotive storytelling are evident in her performance, showcasing the raw energy and authenticity that defined her early work. An interesting aspect of this recording is that "No Burden" was produced by Sadie Dupuis of Speedy Ortiz, further connecting Dacus to a network of prominent artists within her genre. By the time of the Audiotree Live recording, her music had already begun to resonate with audiences, allowing her to firmly plant her place in the contemporary indie music landscape.
