Loretta Lynch

Need a little country pick-me-up? A little taste of the highway? Sassy songs to tap your toes to? From the comfort of your living room to the spaciousness of an open air festival, Loretta Lynch is your band, and she'll serenade you with sorrowful, sweet, saucy and smart songs of love, loss, cowboys, kissing and...catfish.

With soaring three-part harmonies, powerful rhythm, dreamy slide guitars and more than a bit of tongue in cheek, Loretta's stirring songs reach the shady grove in all of us. Think "O Brother Where Art Thou" meets the Andrews Sisters at a warehouse hoedown.

Striding through the wilderness of early parenthood, Loretta Lynch has blazed trails, having played San Francisco's acclaimed Great American Music Hall and Slim’s nightclubs, live radio performances, multiple appearances at England's famed Glastonbury Music Festival, performances on the second stages at the Sleep Train Pavilion and Shoreline Amphitheatre opening for Alabama, and lassoing a devoted and steadily growing local fan base. The ladies of Lynch have composed and sung back-up vocals for Luaka Bop artist Jim White and the Bay Area's own Jesse DeNatale. To boot, Loretta Lynch appeared on NPR's 'Marketplace' website ... as one of the "Great Pop Music Artists of Today".

Let this city quintet with the country heart break yours into tiny jagged pieces and lift it up again. It's a little bit front porch, a little bit backwoods, it's the art motel on a long stretch of open road ... it's Loretta Lynch!

"Of the hundreds of acts that have graced my stages, from Epic Arts Studios to the "How Berkeley!?" Festival to the Outdoor Cinema, nobody does it sweeter than the gals of Loretta Lynch. Beloved by fans and bartenders alike, these urban cowgirls can lasso me in with their mesmerizing harmonies and catchy songwriting anytime!" - Justin Katz (Program Director, Epic Arts/Producer, PARADOX media)

"If Loretta Lynch sounds a bit off, it's supposed to; if it doesn't, you're not listening hard enough. Nothing's sacred in modern music, and while this San Francisco quartet holds outlaw country in high esteem, it's not entirely loyal. Loretta Lynch plays the sort of California country-lover's country that has no past, as if it rolled in on a wave one day and set up shop. Buttery vocal harmonies and wary rhythms convey timeless tales about heartbreak, coming home, and growing old that still manage to sound utterly modern."
- Nate Seltenrich, East Bay Express

"... Heart-melting three-part harmonies ... mandolin-plucky bluegrass, soulful murder ballads, and lush singer-songwriter folk." - SF Weekly

"The three-part cowgirl harmonies of Loretta Lynch conjure up campfires on the prairie & broken-in saddles...soulful & twangy..." - The North Bay Bohemian
