In need of a new drinking partner? From smoky bar rooms to shotgun on the open road Loretta Lynch is your band, and she’ll serenade you with sorrowful, sweet, saucy and sometimes sadistic songs of love, murder, revenge and … catfish. With soaring three-part harmonies, powerful rhythm and dreamy slide guitars and more, Loretta renders stirring songs about love and sex and death bound to reach the shady grove in all of us. Think “O Brother Where Art Thou” meets the Andrews Sisters at a warehouse
