PHOTOS: Lucy Dacus Sings Along with a Packed House of Blues

Lucy Dacus played to a packed crowd at the sold-out House of Blues on Saturday, giving a brilliant performance that had the audience singing along to nearly every lyric from start to finish. The opener for the night, Bartees Strange, jump-started the show with a lively set powered by fuzzy, overdriven guitar and forceful vocals. Lucy Dacus followed with a flawless delivery of her latest album, Home Video, in its entirety, alongside arrangements of “La Vie En Rose” and “Dancing in the Dark” from her 2019 covers EP, and a currently-unreleased solo song. The setlist featured only a few songs from older albums Historian and No Burden, but the audience was eager to demonstrate their knowledge of the new material, as they sang (and occasionally yelled) verses along with Dacus. Bartees Strange returned to the stage for Home Video’s quintessential sing-along song “Going Going Gone.” Before the night was finished, Lucy Dacus mused to the adoring crowd that she has always had good shows in Boston and happily stated, “I think this is another one for the books!”
