LUCINDA WILLIAMS ANNOUNCES LU’S JUKEBOX

A SERIES OF THEMED LIVE PERFORMANCES TO BENEFIT STRUGGLING
INDEPENDENT VENUES DUE TO COVID-19

MOST EPISODES TO FEATURE A FULL BAND SET IN-STUDIO STARTING ON
OCTOBER 22nd WITH “RUNNING DOWN A DREAM: A TRIBUTE TO TOM PETTY”
IN CELEBRATION OF HIS 70TH BIRTHDAY

Nashville, TN – Award-winning, revered singer/songwriter Lucinda Williams is working to
help independent music venues during this time with the announcement of Lu’s Jukebox.
Scheduled as a six-episode series of mostly full-band, HD video performances in-studio,
Lu’s Jukebox will feature a themed set of songs by other artists curated by the multi-
Grammy award winner. The first episode kicks off on October 22nd with Running Down A
Dream: A Tribute To Tom Petty, featuring songs from his celebrated career in advance
of his 70th Birthday.

Lu’s Jukebox will be streamed, ticketed performances accessed through Mandolin

in order to raise funds to assist them through these trouble times caused by COVID-19.
Each venue will receive a percentage of the ticket sales purchased through this Lu’s
Jukebox link (see list of venues/promoters below). With the touring industry coming to an
abrupt halt, many of the beloved independent music rooms are struggling to get by. Many
are legendary music halls with rich histories who may have to choose between closing
their doors or being bought out by a conglomerate. Either choice would have an
immeasurable negative ripple effect for artists, fans, crew members, booking agents and
of course the venues, altering the entire live music industry and experience.

“We’ve actually wanted to do a cover series for a long time now, but never had the time
with my touring schedule”, says Williams. “I guess the silver lining in all of this has been
to be able to really get inside the songs of some of my favorite artists – see what makes
them tick. My hope for this project is that we’ll be able to help as many venues as we can.
They’re our homes, as artists. We have to take care of them, for the sake of live music to
come.”

Other upcoming episodes of Lu’s Jukebox will feature themes that will include significant
eras, specific musical styles, songs of legendary artists and some surprises. Stay tuned
to Lucinda William’s social media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter) for announcements of
upcoming episode themes scheduled for November 5th and 19th, December 3rd, 17th, and
31st.

Like thousands of artists, Williams cut her teeth and developed her craft by playing in
small, medium and large clubs throughout the country, and the world. These venues are
vital to the development of artists and their music. Williams has never forgotten her roots,
and often performs special shows in some of her favorite halls.

Damn, I would love a vinyl copy of all six, but I can’t shell out over $240 at this point.

I am also a proud owner of a series pass with digital download! If only everything in life were so easy! Or anything really.

Virtually see you there! Hopefully there will be a chatroom where we can comment and carry on. And an aftershow!

Found out about this a few hours ago. Emailed the site, was told the Petty sale is over and I cannot purchase the cd or digital files. Can that really be the case?

Thanks, basically what Mandolin told me. Hard to believe they won’t take $25 for a download, especially when it’s for a good cause. I found the files on qobuz for $8.00.

INSW, check the merch page I think you can’t buy the download now.
