Live Performance by Lucy Foley
 
While living in Copenhagen, Irish singer/songwriter Lucy Foley cycled past the grave of Hans Christian Andersen every day, inspiring her to write songs in which people sit on dungheaps and gaze, yearn and fall apart. Lucy's music is also really poppy. Foley visited the US for a show at Pianos on January 21st, and dropped by to play live with her band on Irene’s WFMU show.
