"Lucinda Williams is among the most gifted songwriters of her generation," said Andy Tennille, SECCA Foundation board member and curator of the concert series. "From the eponymous 1988 album on Rough Trade Records that launched her career through her most recent effort, The Ghosts of Highway 20, Lucinda' songs are driven by strong melodies with lyrics that often cut to the quick. We're thrilled to be able to present her for our second-ever outdoor show in Crossroads history."

About Lucinda Williams
Lucinda Williams has been maneuvering down a path all her own for more than three decades. Emerging from Lake Charles, Louisiana, Lucinda's iconoclastic upbringing helped her forge the stunning Lucinda Williams, which Jim Farber of New York's Daily News hailed as "a perfect work. There's not a chord, lyric, beat or inflection that doesn't pull at the heart or make it soar."
For much of the '90s, Lucinda moved around the country, turning out work that won immense respect inside the industry – as borne out by the Grammy afforded Mary Chapin Carpenter's interpretation of Williams' "Passionate Kisses." While her recorded output was sparse for a time, the work that did was invariably hailed for its indelible impressionism – like 1998's Car Wheels on a Gravel Road, which notched her a second Grammy Award. Over the next decade, she crafted such classic sets as West (2007), and Blessed (2011), which the Los Angeles Times dubbed "a dynamic, human, album, one that's easy to fall in love with."
2014's Down Where the Spirit Meets the Bone won Album of the Year at the 2015 Americana Music Association. The Ghosts of Highway 20, which has its roots in the sessions that produced her previous album, finds Williams taking things even further, the most dramatic example of which is the 13-minute, album-closing "Faith and Grace," a churning groove powered by the drumming of Jamaican legends Carlton "Santa" Davis and Ras Michael.
