Lucy Kaplansky with Goodnight Moonshine

LUCY KAPLANSKY is an acclaimed singer-songwriter of rare talent, “a truly gifted performer with a bag full of enchanting songs” (The New Yorker) and “the troubadour laureate of modern city folk” (The Boston Globe). She has released eight critically acclaimed CDs, two of which were awarded Best Pop Album of the year by the Association for Independent Music. National Public Radio described her 2012 album Reunion as “a master class in making the personal universal,” and her most recent album Everyday Street has been dubbed“ spare and luminous” and “remarkable.”

Lucy was part of folk supergroup Cry Cry Cry with Dar Williams and Richard Shindell (which The New Yorker dubbed “a collection of lovely harmonizing and pure emotion”). Their album was an astonishing success in stores and on radio resulting in a national tour of sold-out concerts, as well as a national sold-out reunion tour in 2018. Her recording of Roxy Music’s “More than This” has over 12 million streams on Spotify, and she has been featured on NPR’s All Things Considered, Weekend Edition, and Morning Edition as well as BBC Radio 2 and 4, and CBS Sunday Morning, and has sung harmony on albums by Suzanne Vega, Bryan Ferry, Nanci Griffith and Shawn Colvin. Her song “Guilty as Sin” was featured in the NBC television show Ed, and her vocals were featured in the Tom Cruise film The Firm.

“Utterly beautiful and affecting, Lucy sings songs from her life that have resonance in ours.” – Scott Simon, NPR

GOODNIGHT MOONSHINE is a guitar and vocal duet, combining the evocative voice and songwriting of Molly Venter (Red Molly), with the adventurous guitar playing of Eben Pariser (Roosevelt Dime). The result is folk music with a depth of improvisation and tonal subtlety usually reserved for jazz. 

Goodnight Moonshine has two studio records; their self-titled debut album Goodnight Moonshine (2013), and I’m The Only One Who Will Tell You, You’re Bad (2018), as well as two singles; “Harder Than It Should Be” (2021), and “What Do You Wanna Know” (2022), all produced by Pariser.
