A special night celebrating one of the greatest living songwriters in the country music genre, local musician Olivia Ellen Lloyd will perform the entirety of Lucinda Williams' groundbreaking album, Car Wheels on a Gravel Road along with select hits from her catalogue, accompanied by a stellar 5 piece band and with special guests to be announced.

About Lucinda Williams: Lucinda Williams is an American singer and songwriter who received critical acclaim for her label-defying music, which ranged from folk to country to rock.

Williams, whose father was the poet Miller Williams, began writing songs after borrowing a guitar at age 12. She later studied guitar and then voice, but she never learned to read music. Early musical influences included Joni Mitchell, Joan Baez, and especially Bob Dylan. Miller Williams introduced his daughter to some of his friends, among them the notable writers Allen Ginsberg, Flannery O’Connor, and James Dickey; this exposure strongly influenced her lyrics.

About Olivia: Heavily influenced by country, folk, and indie rock, Lloyd’s sound combines the rooted sounds of her traditional Appalachian upbringing with the fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants nature of her current life. She is inspired by the rich sounds of New York City, the peaceful quiet of her small hometown, and everything in between. For more information: www.olivialloydmusic.com.
