The Big Mix is proud to present Lady Lamb The Beekeeper live at Old Blue Last, all in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support.
Lady Lamb the Beekeeper is the stage name of musician Aly Spaltro whose first recordings were distributed in handmade packages via a second hand DVD shop and local record store, The Bull moose in her hometown of Brunswick, Maine.
Lady Lamb the Beekeeper soon rose to prominence as one of Portland's most popular local acts and in the fall of 2009 Lady Lamb the Beekeeper reverted to a solo project. In 2010 she was named Folk Artist of the Year by the Boston Music Awards.On February 19th, 2013, she released her first studio album, Ripely Pine, to rave reviews.
Ripely Pine shouts the introduction of a new talent from every groove. Here, finally, are recordings of Lady Lamb that come as close as possible to conveying the intense majestry of her live shows. And, much like her performances live, a narrative breathes through the record’s progression. The album opens with urgency and anger, settles into reconciliation and reciprocation, and ultimately reaches towards resolution, realizing infatuation leads to a loss of self; instead, embracing one’s own strengths is the most powerful thing of all.
No surprise that Spaltro ultimately sings a mantra of individuality. A listen to Ripely Pine proves she has a lot to say for herself and certainly doesn’t need anybody’s help to do it.
