Biography
 

How It Started

Lacy Brinson is a country vocalist available to perform throughout the San Antonio and Austin areas. Born and raised in Live Oak, Florida, and known as “Lacy Lee” to close friends and relatives, Lacy is the granddaughter of a circuit-ridin' Southern Baptist preacher. She got her start singing and performing in church, but she honed her musical style and sound while performing in bars and honky tonks over the past 14 years. Lacy's original music draws from her Southern roots and tells her stories in a way that only she can tell them. Although Lacy is country to the core, obvious influences of Western swing, soul, bluegrass, swamp blues, southern gospel, and southern rock infuse her sound. Lacy is available to perform solo or as a duo, trio, or full band.

North Florida to South Texas​​

Both love and her career brought Lacy to San Antonio in April 2012, and she fits right into the Texas music scene. In 2012, Lacy hit the ground running, opening for Robert Earl Keen at the Cattle Baron's Gala in San Antonio. After getting married and having a couple babies, Lacy was featured on the July 2017 cover of Action Magazine in San Antonio. Later that year, Action Magazine featured Lacy as a performer for its 42nd Anniversary Music Festival at Texas Pride Barbecue, where she shared the stage with music legends such as the late Johnny Bush, Augie Meyers, Darrell McCall, and Kinky Friedman, among others.
