- July 29, 2016 by BOB BOILEN • For Lucy Dacus, a 21-year-old with a warm and deep voice, singing comes as naturally as talking. As an adopted child in Richmond, Va., she was raised by a piano-playing mother; now, she writes songs that can be thoughtful, playful and powerful, with tremendous arrangements from guitarist Jacob Blizard.
Dacus and Blizard have been working together since Blizard asked her to be part of a college project he was working on; now, on the strength of her current album No Burden, they've just signed to Matador Records. So consider this Tiny Desk concert a taste of the talent we'll be celebrating for years to come.
No Burden is available now:

Set List:
"I Don't Wanna Be Funny Anymore"

can you imagine being such a great lyricist, vocalist and instrumentalist at 21? Lucy Dacus did THAT
Genius
really amazing
You shouldn't hold age as an outlier for success or talent.
Judging by how she's tweeting in her late twenties, I actually cannot imagine this.
@@allielyke1057what does that even have to do with this?
Since it isn't already listed in the video, the names of the performers are:
Lucy Dacus - Vocals
Jacob Blizard - Guitar
Noma Illmensee - Bass
Miles Huffman - Drums
What a perfect human being. Nothing about her is forced; not her lyrics, her singing, her stage presence, or her appearance. Everything just flows out so beautifully and in such an honest way. Gah.
A
Taurus the Bull ....
I thought exactly the same thing from the first time I listened to her music. She feels so true. This happens when you have real talent and make music because you really need to express yourself.
Creep.
I Don't Want To Be Funny Anymore is a grossly underappreciated song. It really resonated with me. When the chorus and the interlude hit one after the other it was a very muted "whoa". Thank you for posting. I'll be keeping a close ear out for Lucy Dacus and Boy Genius more now.
please get her back on tiny desk to play songs off historian
Elliott Spriggs yesyesyes
this
YES
Yeah, I would love to see her perform songs off of Historian. What a record...
Yes! We need that!
SHE IS SO CUTE MY HEART IS IN COMBUSTION
Good thing it has multiple chambers
SAME!
I’m perpetually in love with every member of boygenius in very different ways
Lucy Dacus has the most soothing voice I've ever heard. She has the most warm and familiar music, and she is such a talented song writer... I love her music
I love the line..."if not, then I'll be the biggest fan..."
"Honesty is like a kiss on the lips, come over here and I'll tell you how it is." GENIUS
Such a genuine gifted writer. Historian is my favorite album of 2018 thus far. Every song is a gem. Takes a few listens to really hear it all. So excited to have discovered Lucy. Night shift kills me everytime
Fun fact: if you listen to night shift while looking out the window of a car at night it’s impossible not to cry
The Shell is music goals!
literally hearing Night Shift for the first time was like. a life-changing moment
Night Shift was my gateway drug ❤
Same
She came and preformed at my school. Pretty cool
What how that is so cool
Her voice is so gorgeous and I haven't something like it for a while. The way she is able to articulate her thoughts through her lyrics is amazing. I'm so glad I found her music through Boy Genius.
Set List:
0:05 "I Don't Wanna Be Funny Anymore"
3:38 "Direct Address"
7:11 "Green Eyes, Red Face"
much love for Lucy Dacus
I saw these guys live when they opened for Daughter and immediately bought their album!!!!! So freaking good!
this arpeggio version of I don't wanna be funny anymore sounds way way better than the official version
I like how she rests her hands on her guitar when she's done playing
Her voice is literally my favorite thing in the world right now
her voice is so warm and ethereal it feels like a hug or like floating on a cloud
Her voice really has this tender patina well, well, beyond her years and yet it's entirely timeless and if she was a siren I would drown for her ❤
I'm spreading the word about Lucy over here in England. Fantastic.
Been watching this for 3 days straight now, I wish they’d allow more time for top tier up and coming artists like Lucy. Can’t wait to catch her on tour in a few months!
I just adore her voice. I have a squeaky first soprano voice, so I really appreciate the resonance of her low notes.
Love how she folds her hands over the guitar at the end of the song.
I'm so grateful to have found her music. I never used to venture out in my music taste and I can't imagine. So talented.
Your music captivated my soul and your appeance tucked it into a soft blanket and I knew everything was going to be okay. Absurdly adorable AND talented.
She always looks so unbothered and for real haha, i love it
Had me clapping all alone in my room
I saw her live in Charlotte when they opened for daughter! I bought their CD as soon as the concert ended
They are incredibly talented - she is incredible. Some of the best talent I've seen in some time. Please keep going!
This is really fantastic. Love her voice & phrasing.
baby lucy!
A truly beautiful soul. Every time one of her songs come on the radio I just stop and listen.
Damn-- where the heck have *I* been ??? She's really wonderful!
What an unexpected deep voice. Amazing !
Her dynamics. The Bands dynamics. Wow just wow.
Can't wait to see where she goes, both times I've seen her, she's shocked and impressed me.
love how she writes and the vocal melody, thank you Lucy!
I love Lucy's first album, and I'm glad to hear she got signed!
What a winning performer. Really nice. She is wise beyond her years.
I love love loveeee her, all her lyrics resonate with me on another level
yeah they're really good. its been a while someone wrote like this
Loved it. Her voice is amazing.
Great to hear good new voices out there, thank you Lucy and the Tiny Desk crew for making this happen.
I love everything about her and this set.
I absolutely adore her!
And I love how she commentates between the songs.
Speaking forthright and with soul, a woman after my own heart
Congrats Lucy! Glad to see the tour is going so well.
Her voice is everything
REALLY love this performance. So mellow, but she has power in her voice.
Love her to pieces. Vibe is so right. Soooooooo right!
Wow she just has such an beautiful and unique sound
Lucy Dacus you are a singer. Thanks for sharing yourself with music. Keep doing it. Bless you!
Guitar Harmonics at 2:11 was suprisingly creative
Such an easy daily watch I ❤ her
Absolutely amazing! Go Lucy!
This is great. I’d like to try to see them live this summer. Keep up the beautiful sounds, friends.
i love her vibe. really great songwriting
I'm so in love with your music. Congratulations. You really shook my heart, lady :)
I hope to see more of you/your band in the near future
so beautiful and warm
Well what a nice surprise never heard of Lucy before, just starting out in the grand scheme of things. Keep going Lucy don't give up! You Are Good.
Beautiful
her voice 😭
WOW...they are amazing
You know it's unfair that I am here and you are there.
I feel short in the exchange- I show you mine you walk away.
I'm wearing mine out on my sleeve, you're wearing yours where I can't see,
but I'll remember your face for years to come
and wonder what you thought about when you got home.
Honestly is like a kiss on the lips.
Come closer and I'll tell you exactly how it is.
Now I'm barely breathing, I'm moving ahead,
but if I see you smile, it's gonna knock me dead.
I'm stiff in my tracks trying to recover
from whatever drug you used to put me under.
I don't believe in love at first sight.
I don't believe in love at first sight.
It's hard enough for me to not fall in love with every person I see.
I let my mind get turned inside out
just to see what the kids were laughing about.
It wasn't worth understanding something
I could've gone my whole life not knowing.
You know what they say about curiosity.
That murderer had his chokehold on me.
I ran away without looking back,
but every now and then I want what I can't have.
I'm still thinking of a man from years ago-
eyes open wide in the front row,
dark features, leaning on the doorframe.
I would've sold my soul to know his first name.
I don't believe in love at first sight.
I don't believe in love at first sight.
I don't believe in love at first sight.
Maybe I would if you looked at me right.
absolutely love her voice. it takes me places
this took me to a special place in my heart i forgot existed. thank you
Wow! This is my new fav! Love this so much!❤
I let my mind get turned inside out
Just to see what the kids were laughing about
And it wasn't worth understanding
Something I could have gone my whole life not knowing
some of my favorite Lucy lyrics
