BBC Radio 2 - The Country Show with Bob Harris, Lucie Silvas in session

Lucie Silvas joins Bob in session, playing songs from her latest album "See Me With Your Heart"

Born in the UK and raised part of her life in New Zealand by her Kiwi dad and Scottish mother, Lucie Silvas grew up listening to her parents favourites from Ray Charles to Nat King Cole to James Taylor and Roberta Flack. She started playing the piano and writing songs at age 10 but wasn't exposed to the music industry until she was 17 when she went out on the road as a backing singer for British singer/songwriter Judie Tzuke. 

A few years later she released her debut album on Mercury Records, "Breathe In," and toured extensively around Europe for the following years with both her debut and second album. She went on to sell well over a million albums in Europe, alone. Lucie worked and toured with many artists throughout Europe including the likes of Elton John, Jamie Cullum, Macy Gray, and Jamiroquai. 

After achieving massive success for both her own music as well as songs she had written for other artists, Lucie packed up and moved to Nashville, TN. where she has now written and performed with some of the biggest and the best in their fields. 

Lucie has just released her long-awaited and much anticipated album, "Letters To Ghosts" on her own imprint, Furthestpoint Records. This is a fully self-financed endeavour and one that came from sheer passion, drive and a slew of generosity and favours from some of the greatest players in and out of the Nashville market who all saw the raw talent and amazing body of work in the making.

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.
