STELLA DONNELLY - BANJO LUCIA

"Fierce, funny, and unsettling, her music is empathetic to the core."

Stella Donnelly has toured relentlessly in support of her critically acclaimed debut album ‘Beware of the Dogs’. Released in March 2019, the album received international praise from outlets such as Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, Billboard, The New York Times & Stereogum.

The record’s release & preceding singles such as ‘Old Man’ & ‘Tricks’ propelled Donnelly to new heights including studio sessions for NPR’s Tiny Desk & KEXP along with an envious international touring schedule which saw her sell out shows across North America & Europe as well as play prestigious festivals including Glastonbury, Roskilde & a stand out performance at Japan’s Fuji Rock Festival.

Donnelly has recently finished recording her new album with award-winning producer Anna Laverty (Camp Cope, Courtney Barnett) The record is her second release with Secretly Canadian. She will release her first single in April 2022, just prior to heading off on a UK /Europe tour with Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever.

An artist totally in command of her voice; able to blend her inviting charm & sharp wit into authentically raw songs, Donnelly’s song writing makes you feel like you’re in her lounge & she’s just made you a cup of tea & a slice of cake, so that you’re comfortable when she tells you some hard truths.

BANJO LUCIA

Banjo Lucia is a passionate singer-songwriter steeped in a deep love for the craft and tradition. Her songs reveal a wisdom and sophisticated turn of phrase revealing an insight into the human condition that is at once heartbreaking and uplifting. Her ability to turn mundane details into profound familiarity and transport the listener into the centre of her experience as if it was their own, is the mark of a truly gifted writer.Drawing influence from luminaries such as Frank Ocean, Bjork and Julia Jacklin, the metamorphosis of this is evident in her debut EP ‘Peccadilloes’; a collection of songs that detail various intimate facets of her own experience with grief, love and growth. Banjo will spend 2022 touring in support of the EP including tours with artists such as Stella Donnelly, Sharon Van Etten and more.
