Prospect

Rare is the country band who forms and finds an audience in the city, but Babies' Babies has done just that. Though front woman Olivia Lurrie began performing live just a couple of months ago, her shows have drawn sizable audiences of fans who sway and dance to her and her band's country-psych jams. Styling herself as a "neurotic southern belle" and a "manic prairie dream girl" - Olivia takes her influence from classic country and folk acts like Dolly Parton, Lee Hazelwood, and Nancy Sinatra. While the musical style evokes those artists, Lurrie's lyrics describe more modern anxieties about heartbreak and self-discovery. On Babies' latest album "Better Than Before," Lurrie sings almost autobiographically about a young country singer breaking out of a tumultuous relationship and leaving her small town to find success in the big city.
