MINDA LACY
Minda Lacy is a Portland based music maker originally from New Mexico. Her sound is a lyrically driven folk with vaguely morbid psychedelic undertones and a light hearted sweetness reminiscent of a cool breeze blowing through a chinchillas belly fur. She has a unique soulful singing voice, and some mean guitar skills. Catch her at one of her upcoming shows if you get a chance! Find more at mindalacy.com.
