About Lucille

  Lucille is a guitarist, vocalist, songwriter and producer. Her Cherokee/Louisiana French heritage strongly influences both the energy and content of her music. She began learning guitar at the age of four, inspired by her father, J. F., who was a talented professional in his own right. Her mother, Lillian, a delta blues singer and songwriter, introduced her daughter to the blues.

By seventeen, she was touring with bands on the 'Chitlin' Circuit' as they made their way from New Orleans to Memphis and Chicago.
