Bridge 19
About Bridge 19
Louisville, KY
If you’re going to fall in love with the music of Bridge 19, it’s going to be because of harmony, but not necessarily the kind you think.
Sure, their high-energy original tunes are harmony driven, but it’s more than that. These women are connected — to one another, to the audience, and to the music — in a way that’s not only plain to see, but infectious.
A live performance by Amanda and Audrey fee…ls like an intimate conversation with an old friend. Without a hint of pretense, their smiles, enthusiasm, and humor lull you into a comfortable sense of belonging. Then they hit you with incredible stories of love, loss, and unbridled joy. Unafraid, they’ll do whatever it takes to bring the music to you.
Amanda Lucas is just a nice girl — or so it may seem at first listen. You might almost buy that sweet facade, giving in to her infectious hooks. But if you really listen, you’ll hear real-life emotion couched in a pop-rock sound. Spunky, spirited melody nearly masks the sometimes bitter lyrics that relate real-life tales of love and loss. Truly hearing what Amanda is saying means understanding her drive to communicate what life’s tossed her way so far — the romantic, the abusive, and the struggle. You know you’re hearing something genuine when she forgets you’re there. With her head tilted forward and eyes closed, she sometimes sings out the side of her mouth, as if the raw feelings have to sneak out to avoid hitting too hard.
Audrey Cecil is a gentle, shy soul whose songs expose tangled thoughts. With lyrics that vacillate between empathy and anger, jubilation and anguish, really listening will reveal an inner world filled with complicated relationships. Whether she’s sharing a song about everyday people, so-called friends, her hometown, or even her true love, Audrey is authentic. But just like Audrey, it takes a while to truly know the music. Lyrics rich with detail and depth provide plenty for a busy mind to contemplate. And if you just get caught up in the easy-to-sway-to sound, you might miss the complex honesty that accompanies her agile guitar.
To really know these women, you have to hear their original tunes. Striking a balance between deep and catchy, they can make you tap your toes while feeling an ache in your heart. They mix honesty, plain truth, and metaphor with melody, texture, rhythm, and of course, harmony.
