Lucy Kitchen is a British folk singer-songwriter based in Romsey, Hampshire. Her songs explore profound concepts of grief and loss, drawing inspiration from lyrical poets, nature, the seasons and the art of creating beauty out of difficulty.
With two previous albums released on her own Bohemia Rose Records, 2014 debut offering ‘Waking’ and the sophomore ‘Sun To My Moon’ in 2017, Lucy has also made recent contributions to RE:WARM Records' ‘Folk Funk & Trippy Troubadours Vol. 2’ and ‘Sounds of Southampton Vol. 3’, She released ‘The Stabal Sessions’ EP in 2023, a sonic tapestry of melancholic melodies and personal storytelling.
Combined with her evocative voice and emotive songwriting, she continues to captivate audiences both in the UK and internationally. She has garnered significant radio support including BBC Introducing, Amazing Radio USA, and Radio X. Lucy’s versatility has made her highly sought after for collaborations, particularly with electronic music acts, resulting in multiple features on BBC Radio 1.
Playing songs from her new album In the Low Light (releasing 27th Feb) - a beautiful collection shaped by personal loss and quiet resilience. Blending hypnotic folk with subtle threads of Americana and the timeless spirit of 1970s singer-songwriters, the album marks a deeply personal chapter in Lucy’s life.
Written in the wake of her husband’s death in October 2022 the record explores themes of loss, grief, memory, and transformation. Yet within its sorrow, there are glimpses of joy, gratitude, and rediscovery. For Lucy, the act of creating became a lifeline; a way to process pain, honour love, and slowly reassemble herself through music.
“Making this album re-built me more than anything else” says Lucy. “From the moment we started recording I just felt this pure excitement to be creating something new with these amazing musicians. I think when you're recording you embody the music and everything else falls away so for me it just felt like magic. I felt like it brought me back to myself and what I love to do.”
