LUCY WOODWARD releases Stories From The Dust. It is perhaps her most personal album yet, as crafted with GRAMMY Award-winning co-producer and co-writer of most of the songs on the album David Garza (Fiona Apple, Gaby Moreno). The tracks and melodies pull you toward Lucy’s poignant insights of matters of the heart in the world’s fragile present. David and Lucy spent several weeks in downtown LA writing these stories about women, the ones she grew up with—the fiercely independent and unconventional women who raised her—and those she merely observed from afar, whether in the sandbox or on the subway. Stories From The Dust features bass extraordinaire Tim Lefebvre and co-writer Larry Goldings. Inspired by Bill Withers and Nina Simone, she added inspiration from the deep rivers of Americana, blues, flamenco singing and the sounds of the female voices from Sergio Mendes & Brasil ’66. Stories From The Dust is rootsy and melodic, continuing a decades-long streak of craft oriented, critically acclaimed full length albums from the New York native.

Other collaborations include Charlie Hunter, Pink Martini (singing in Croatian, Turkish, Spanish, French and Japanese on a few days' notice), several larger ensembles in Europe such as WDR Big Band, Danish Radio Big Band, Frankfurt Radio Big Band and Orchestra de la Suisse Romande. Recording/touring credits also include Rod Stewart, Snarky Puppy, Celine Dion, Charlie Hunter, Barbra Streisand and Chaka Khan, and has appeared on countless movie soundtracks.
