Lucy Rose and Sam Eagle

It was when Lucy Rose Parton enrolled at University College London to study geography but she began to perform as a singer songwriter in her own right. She met Jack Steadman from Bombay Bicycle Club, and the two collaborated on the album “Flaws”, most notably on the title track, amongst others on the album. She featured also on Bombay Bicycle Club’s third album “A Different Kind of Fix” which Rose takes some backing vocals on the song.

2012 saw Lucy Rose’ career begin to take of in a very big way, as she started to tour the UK, the US and Canada with Bombay Bicycle Club. She even supported Noah and the Whale. It was also 2012, that Lucy Rose announced that she signed with Columbia Records. Over the course of the year she was recording her debut album “Like I Used To” in Warwickshire. She played Latitude, Y Not, Green Man Bestival and Reading and Leads Festivals in 2012 too.

Lucy Rose released her album “Like I Used To” in the latter half of the year on September 24th 2012. It was fantastically received as it had been promoted since the end of the previous year, with a release of “Middle of The Bed” and “Scar” being released as singles. The album reached number 13 in the UK Singles Chart.

2013 saw Lucy Rose embark on a European tour supporting Platinum selling artists Counting Crows. It was such a success, and she formed such a good relationship with the band that they invited her back out on tour the following year.
