Lucy Kitt

Lucy Kitt is an Essex-born singer-songwriter who's been crafting raw, heartfelt tunes for over 20 years, kicking things off in her teens with her riot grrrl grunge band Ostara in Romford before diving into folk and acoustic vibes after uni in Kent. Drawing heavy inspiration from '70s Laurel Canyon legends like Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Bob Dylan, and Sandy Denny—plus '90s indie faves like The Lemonheads and Nirvana—she blends folk-rock, country blues, and a touch of indie into something warm, authentic, and totally her own, all while keeping that natural Essex accent in her gentle, emotive vocals.

She's built a solid rep on the UK scene, hitting the semi-finals of the BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Awards in 2007, gigging at Glastonbury and Cambridge Folk Festival, and even touring spots like Sweden, Switzerland, and Northern California, with fans and radio play stretching to the US and Australia. Her debut album *Stand By* dropped in 2018 (or 2019 per some sources), followed by the deeply personal *Telling Me* in 2025—packed with tracks like "Sweet Time," "Waiting Game," and "Telling Me"—written amid lockdown, motherhood, and life’s chaos, featuring killer collabs with folks like Spencer Cullum on pedal steel.
