Lucy Allen and Marshall Goers

Lucy Allen & Marshall Goers deliver a tasteful blend of folk music that heals and reveals. They present a combination of original, traditional and covers of other songwriters. Lucy provides strong vocals backed by the versatility of Marshall's instrumentation.

Music that reveals and heals has been a constant in Lucy Allen’s life since childhood, when her musical parents filled the house with the progressive sentiments of folk legends Pete Seeger, Woody Guthrie and Peter, Paul and Mary.

Today, as a singer-songwriter touring the western Carolinas, Allen is putting her personal stamp on songs that recount life’s struggles and illuminate the possibilities of their lessons – whether they are original tunes or well chosen covers that display her formidable guitar and vocal skills.

Playing a wide variety of music—blues, bluegrass, oldtime, folk, and rock- wasn’t quite enough for Marshall Goers. So he took an interest in playing a wide variety of instruments, too. Although rooted by guitar and mandolin, he is also comfortable with harmonica, lap dulcimer, banjo, fiddle, and even bouzouki in his hands.

Goers took an interest in music early in life. He and his sister used to sing duets, including a variety of folk tunes and early Beatles songs, providing the family entertainment after dinner.
