Lucas and the Lovelys

Lucas Laws & Tara Jenkins finally met on a back porch. The summer sun was setting, the rain was falling and someone started strumming a six-string. Together they wrote a song reflecting on their surroundings and thus commenced upon their musical journey.

They started playing at poetry readings, open mics and bookstores and developed their own muscial style performing traditional and original songs about longing, loving, and breakfast on trains.

The tumbleweeds tumbled along and eventually found a beat with Katherine Seifarth, who brought her confident percussion and a melodious third singing voice to the band. Soon after, they enlisted the sure hands of mutual friend Kelly Brown on bass, and the rhythmic groove was established.

By the following summer, the newly named Lucas & the Lovelys evolved again with the addition of violin virtuoso Joe Taylor after a chance encounter at a pizza shop.

On Stage: 2:15-3:15PM
