NO DEPRESSION SESSIONS at Lucinda's: Gráinne Duffy

We are proud to present this installment of our No Depression Session series in partnership with NYC honky-tonk Lucinda’s and Hiatus Tequila. When Lucinda Williams teamed up with industry lifers Laura McCarthy and Kelley Swindall to create a Southern country bar in NYC’s East Village with a killer jukebox, we knew we needed to find a way to work together.

Irish Americana and blues singer Gráinne Duffy brought a piece of her home – County Monaghan – to Lucinda’s for this No Depression Session, sharing two originals from the forthcoming album What Am I Supposed to Do?, and a classic Rolling Stones cover.

Between songs, Duffy spoke about recording the album with seasoned players including guitarists Marc Ford and Paul Sherry, Peter Levin on keys, and the rhythm section of Kenny Aronoff and Jorgen Carlsson. They worked fast, emphasizing a "live-in-the-room" approach, favoring feeling over polish.

Setlist:
“Tragedy”
“What Am I Supposed to Do?”
"Wild Horses"
