In need of a new drinking partner? From smoky bar rooms to shotgun on the open road Loretta Lynch is your band, and she’ll serenade you with sorrowful, sweet, saucy and salient songs of love, murder, revenge and … catfish.
With soaring three-part harmonies, powerful rhythm and dreamy slide guitars and more, Loretta renders stirring songs about love and sex and death bound to reach the shady grove in all of us. Think “O Brother Where Art Thou” meets the Andrews Sisters at a warehouse hoedown.
Loretta Lynch has blazed trails, having played San Francisco's acclaimed Great American Music Hall, live radio performances, a feature at bEASTfest, multiple appearances at England’s famed Glastonbury Music Festival, performances on the second stage at the Bay Area's Sleep Train Pavilion and Shoreline Amphitheatre opening for Alabama, and a devoted and steadily growing fan base. The ladies of Lynch have composed, sung and recorded back-up vocals for Luaka Bop artist Jim White and the Bay Area's own Jesse DeNatale. To boot, Loretta Lynch appeared on NPR's 'Marketplace' website ... as one of the “Great Pop Music Artists of Today”.
Let this tarnished trio backed by fiends on the strings and skins break your heart into tiny jagged pieces and lift it up again with the ease of a shot glass.
It’s a little bit front porch, a little bit backwoods, it’s the art motel on a long stretch of highway…it’s Loretta Lynch!
"Loretta Lynch plays the sort of California country-lover's country that has no past, as if it rolled in on a wave one day and set up shop. Buttery vocal harmonies and wary rhythms convey timeless tales about heartbreak, coming home, and growing old that still manage to sound utterly modern." - East Bay Express
"It's music that makes me want to laugh and cry and dance and think all at once! It's a wily celebration of left coast feminine moxy!" – Jim White
"... Grab a copy of Loretta Lynch’s new album “Concrete and Ether”... as much vino and tequila as you can carry ... Let the music of Loretta Lynch whirl you into a frenzy, dance around the living room in full view of the neighbours, and exorcise those demons."

"Of the hundreds of acts that have graced my stages, from Epic Arts Studios
to the "How Berkeley!?" Festival to the Outdoor Cinema, nobody does it
sweeter than the gals of Loretta Lynch. Beloved by fans and bartenders
alike, these urban cowgirls can lasso me in with their mesmerizing harmonies
and catchy songwriting anytime!" - Justin Katz (Program Director, Epic Arts/Producer, PARADOX media)
"Above the fiery moutains and the stormy clouds. Above the noisy sidewalk.
Harmony gets kept by three humming birds. Know them as Loretta Lynch" - Jesse DeNatale
"... Heart-melting three-part harmonies ... mandolin-plucky bluegrass, soulful murder ballads, and lush singer-songwriter folk." - SF Weekly
"Loretta Lynch's sweet facade -- gorgeous vocal harmonies,
seemingly-pleasant melodies, exceptional musicianship -- masks their
richly nuanced dark underside of regret, loss, murder, revenge, and bad
drunken decisions made in late-night bars. That they do it with such
beauty (and the odd smack of a really barbed sense of humor and a
toe-tappin' tune that's difficult to dislodge from one's head) marks them
as being in a class with very very few acoustic musicians. And if only
more lyricists had their way with language..." - KALX radio
"The three-part cowgirl harmonies of Loretta Lynch conjure up campfires on the prairie & broken-in saddles...soulful & twangy..." - The North Bay Bohemian
"Harmonies that make your head buzz. Charisma enough to win over the attentive and the unruly alike. With a brew that's one part sweet southern comfort and one part feminist badassery, Loretta Lynch is the sexiest band this side of the Mississippi." - Noe Venable
