[ATTENDED: October 1, 2023] Tommy Lefroy
I had not heard of Tommy Lefroy before this Festival and I assumed that he was a singer songwriter.
And I was very wrong.
Tommy Lefroy in in fact, Thomas Langlois Lefroy (8 January 1776 – 4 May 1869), an Irish politician who is thought to be an inspiration for the character of Mr. Darcy in Jane Austen’s novel Pride and Prejudice.
And the band is based in London although the members are Canadian singer Tessa Mouzourakis and American singer Wynter Bethel.
The duo first met in Nashville, Tennessee in 2017, where both were trying to establish themselves as professional songwriters. They began to work together as a duo in 2018 after Bethel was exposed to Mouzourakis’s online cover of boygenius’s “Ketchum, ID.”
They were played on the screens at the Chrysalis Stage since they had earned the Main Stage.
They sounded great–their two voices melding together very nicely. I believe we caught most of their set (as I feel like we heard them singing about a Trashfire).
It’s hard to get into a band when they are on screen, but when you’re standing amid the crowd and the sound is really clear (and sometimes you have to watch the band on the screen anyhow), it was easy to get into this fun band.
I’d like to learn more about them and maybe see them open for someone on tour next year.
