Lucy Barna
Given her first guitar at the age of 17, Lucy has been singing her story through song ever since. Raised in Ohio and adult-grown across American roads East to West, Lucy’s gypsy spirit has led the way most of her life. An artist by nature, music was self-taught and songs began as stories of her journey, often written inside a van, a tent or a roadside hotel room. Decades later, this story continues through her seasoned songs, creating an audibly trenchant, palpable experience of the human heart. Musical influences include folk greats Joni Mitchell, Mary Chapin Carpenter and John Gorka, as well as contemporary artists Norah Jones, Miranda Lambert and The Avett Brothers. With a homebase of Madrid, NM, Lucy performs regionally as a solo singer-songwriter, as well as with her bands Hot Honey (Best of Santa Fe 2013: Best New Band, Best Alt-Country Band and Best Rock Band), Hitchhike Honey, and High Hippie Associates. “It’s a Rose”, her latest collection of original songs, was written in San
