"Loretta Lynch plays the sort of California country-lover's country that has no past, as if it rolled in on a wave one day and set up shop. Buttery vocal harmonies and wary rhythms convey timeless tales about heartbreak, coming home, and growing old that still manage to sound utterly modern." - Nate Seltenrich, East Bay Express

ABOUT US
We say we're "Americana Noir":
A little tear in your beer, a little knife
in the back, a twist of rusty barbed wire wrapped around an
earnest heart...
~~~~~
Lush three-part harmonies and raucous
surf-tinged guitar burnish Country-Folk-Blues originals and
y'all-ternative
takes on 80's punk and
classic Standards.
We dredge up the dark heart of Americana and gently set it afire.
Loretta Lynch is:
Heather Davison
