Special Guest Host Heather Aubrey Lloyd
What do you get when a recovering reporter, performance poet and fairy tale collector writes songs? Heather Aubrey Lloyd has co-fronted Baltimore’s ilyAIMY (i love you And I Miss You) for 17 years, playing everything from bars to bait shops to clothing-optional resorts nationwide. After a solo stint backing Dar Williams, Lloyd started work on a solo CD. 2017’s “A Message in the Mess" is a storybook drawn from real life, but populated by colorful, larger-than-life characters: Hippie Tooth Faeries, Jackson Pollock reincarnated as a flock of pigeons and aspiring animal crackers. The common thread: Lloyd’s stunning and emotive alto, pushed to new limits in inventive arrangements featuring mandolin, banjo, upright bass, ukulele and delightfully bizarre percussion (yes, that really is recorded bubble wrap). The CD ushered in a year of major national awards: 2017 Telluride Troubadour Top 4, Falcon Ridge Folk Festival MOST WANTED Artist. 2018 started with THREE more honors: the Songwriter's Association of Washington/Mid-Atlantic Song Contest Director's Award for "Album of the Year, "National Women's Music Festival emerging artist, and a finalist for the No Depression Magazine/Freshgrass Festival Songwriter Award.
