The NPR station I listen to played 2 Cool 2 Be Forgotten this morning and the host then gave a shout out about Lucinda appearing on Letterman tonight.

Welcome and thank you for the post, especially knowing you found Lu through the summer tour! Imagine that.

I’m a newbie but feel comfortable enough telling you the songs you are wanting to hear are on her upcoming release “Lil Honey”, slated for an Oct 14 release. Hope that helps.

Also, she is touring behind the record, be sure to check the “shows” link for Sept and October.

Interesting. Why eleven?

I saw a flashdrive ad while on facebook today advertising the same thing! It came and went faster than I could click on the page and I didn’t stay on long enough to wait for it to loop.

I also just checked the playlist of the NPR radio station I listen to and they also played “Real Love” today as well. Has LH officially gone out to radio?

Looks like they are coming to my neck of the woods at Southgate House in Newport. Thanks for the info!

I can be the female voice weighing in here.

My first Lu show was the John Mellencamp show in Milwaukee at Summerfest. I witnessed two false starts, an abandoning of the song, along with apologies, among other instances that made me feel like I was at a rehearsal and not a concert . I later read the circumstances behind what I had witnessed on stage that night (no rehearsal time, missed flights, etc.). I have to say I have NEVER witnessed anything like it before (not that I’m a seasoned music fan attending many many shows but I have been going to concerts for many years now) and I am sure it has happened/happens with countless musicians. It was distracting for me, though, to sit through Lu’s set that night. I honestly thought she was going to walk off the stage at one point. HOWEVER, I gave her another shot ( I already had tickets) and the remaining 4 times I saw her were absolutely stellar. They were near perfect. Prompt start times and the music flowed. After joining this forum, I have come to understand the things that happens while she is on stage and can accept that now that I know. It’s LU, right? HOWEVER, for someone seeing her for a first time, and witnessing uncharacteristic behavior on stage from a seasoned professional musician, well those in attendance might not be so forgiving IMHO.

It is interesting, I think, audience takes on shows compared to what the die-hard fans see which leads me to this blog I found on the Radio City show ( I was even more interested in finding something on this since “The Heartless Bastards” are Cincinnati based). Not sure if this was ever posted before or not, it’s a fairly long blog with video clips from the show. He never mentions the blurb about the couple leaving so apparently it didn’t disturb him.
