“I guess I’ve been doing music since I was born or something”, muses Lucy Dacus in her contemplative, Virginian drawl. “My mum’s a pianist and my dad’s a guitarist so we would always sing and stuff, but I feel like I’ve never really tried to do music – it was just such an integral part of my growing up. It was just always there.”
