ABOUT THE ARTISTS:
LUCY BARNA & THE LEVIATHANS
Lucy Barna is a multi-faceted artist, crafting her story through song, visual artand teaching.Most known locally for her years with the Appalachian-country band Hot Honey, which garnered awards such a Best New Band, Best Country Band, and Best Rock Band in 2013, Lucy has dedicated the past decade primarily to solo songwriting endeavors, recording and performing her original music around the southwest region, as both as solo artist and with a backing band. Lucy began her recording career at Landslide Studios in Asheville, NC in 2008 with her first album, “I Saw A Bird”, followed by “It’s a Rose”, a solo acoustic record produced with Jason Reed at Frogville Records.This past summer, with the help of Jono Manson at Kitchen Sink Studios, she birthed her most accomplished project yet -a full-band album titled “What I Know is True”.This 13-track collection of deeply personal songs has reached audiences worldwide through radio airplay and major streaming platforms. She and her songs from What I Know is True have been nominated as finalists for the 2023 New Mexico Music Awards in the categories of Best Adult Contemporary and Best Singer-Songwriter. Lucy’s passion lies in the art of songwriting and in sharing herself through her lyrical storytelling.Her stories are all heart, and as she performs that heart comes clearly through.She also enjoys inspiring and guiding others through the process of song-crafting, including lyric composition, arrangement and various instrumentation, and can be found teaching locally at places like Queen Bee Music Association.Outside of writing and performing music, Lucy can be found running her contemporary art gallery, Alchemy Studio, in Madrid, designing and fabricating art jewelry for Votive Designs, and spending time with her twin teenage boys.
ZEPHANIA STRINGFIELD
Zephaniah Stringfield is the name his mama gave him. From his Baba he was given his first guitar at age 12 and has carried one on his back ever since, centered in a perpetual singalong. After fleeing the San Francisco Bay Area at 17 to confront a life of spontaneous song-seeking in all corners of the United States, he found his soul’s home in Taos, New Mexico. He has honed his technical guitar skills to various elements of the Americana spectrum, blending a decade of mastery of blues, bluegrass, folk, country, and rock 'n roll into music both hauntingly familiar, yet unprecedented in its ability to cut deep gently. In solo performance or in collaboration with the multitude of talent Taos has to offer, Zephaniah is a loving spectacle, radiating the curious wonder of the human experience, life before death, the birth of a new masculinity both tender and thorny, and the warmth of sheltering from hard times together. Collaborators include members of the bluegrass band Foggy Memory Boys, his outlaw country project The Spud Gun Bandits, and Peter Oviatt, creator of Moonflower Sounds recording studio, who provides instrumentals and harmony vocals in live performance and recordings, and co-produced Zephaniah’s newest album, Ipse Dixit.
If you ever get the urge to get in your car and take off without a plan, Zephaniah’s voice is your ideal traveling companion. If your date didn’t show at the bar, and you need the music to become your human connection for the night, he’s got you covered. His songs are the type you can never quite believe you are hearing for the first time, and he made them for you. He wants you to sing, to dance, to call up an old friend when a line reminds you of their smile. Go ahead and swallow these tunes without salt. Let the truth burn and nourish you. And when Zephaniah tells you his tour van hit an alligator on the way to the show, believe him.
