He has toured with Steve Earle, Levon Helm, The Killers, Justin Townes Earle, Sturgill Simpson, and many others. He has appeared at Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, and The Newport Folk Festival. His music has appeared on NPR’s “Prairie Home Companion” and “Mountain Stage”.

Born in a bathtub in a cookie factory in California, Lucy Clearwater is an acoustic folk/Americana singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and nature-loving old soul with a background in classical violin. Since moving to LA in 2016, she’s released numerous singles and EPs (Feel Again, Casual, Augenlieder, and April), sold out beloved venues like The Hotel Cafe, and graced the stage at iconic venues such as The Troubadour and The El Rey. Drawing inspiration from the artists she grew up listening to such as Joni Mitchell, James Taylor, and Lucinda Williams, she spent most of 2024 touring internationally, and sharing the stage with artists like John Craigie, Madison Cunningham, Victoria Canal, Philine Sonny, and Luca Fogale to name a few. Clearwater won the 2024 New Folk Competition at the Kerrville Folk Festival, and returned for a notable performance on the main stage in 2025. Her heartfelt, vulnerable songwriting and rich acoustic sound resonate deeply. With three singles from her debut LP already released, Clearwater is steadily inching towards releasing her full album, produced by Grammy award winner Tyler Chester. Tissues are a good accessory at any Lucy Clearwater concert!
