Lydia Luce's presence is like the eye of a storm. Surrounded by masked musicians from her Lockeland Strings section, she stoically sings "Tangled Love," a song about settling scores and brokering accords in romance.\
"Let's call a treaty, let's call it quits/Love shouldn't feel like this," she sings with an earthy, grounded voice in the latest episode of Press Play At Home, making a breakup sound as weighty as collapsed relations between sovereign states.
In another sense, the storm is literal. On March 3, Luce released a virtual benefit show marking the one-year anniversary of the Tennessee tornado that devastated Nashville in 2020. She's pointing viewers to Middle Tennessee Emergency Response Fund at The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee if they wish to donate.
