Fall Folk: LVDY

About this event

LVDY [pronounced LADY] is the Colorado-based duo of Kathleen Hooper and Aubrey Mable, creating music that moves, uplifts, and connects. With roots in singer-songwriter, indie-folk and a sound shaped by soaring harmonies and organic instrumentation, LVDY crafts songs that feel like home. In unison it is almost unrecognizable who’s who, and in harmony, an effortless blend that welcomes the exhale. Their uplifting sound and intimate storytelling weave love anthems in and out of their messages, with simple yet important reminders that we’re not alone. Their ethereal harmonies, musical warmth, and meaningful lyrics find inspiration in the beauty of the outdoors and the threads that weave us together as humans. Though their roots lie in the singer-songwriter realm, their music is intentionally genre-fluid, allowing them to adapt their sound to a wide range of audiences, settings, and collaborations.

They have shared stages with the likes of Rising Appalachia, Dirtwire, KT Tunstall, Emily King, Daniel Rodriguez, JOSEPH, Joy Oladokun, Ayla Nereo, LÉON, Emily Scott Robinson, and Brendan James. “Mable’s warm rasp complements Hooper’s bright and clear vocals.
