Based on Historian<\/em>, her new album, you\u2019d think Lucy Dacus has managed to live 10 lifetimes in her 22 years. The fact that she was knitting a scarf through the entire interview attests to that.<\/p>\n

The Richmond, Virginia-based artist is often tagged \u201cwise beyond her years,\u201d but that somehow seems to cheapen the maturity in her songwriting. Many people her age are desperate to find their way in the adult world and fit themselves into it. But Dacus, who plays the High Noon Saloon<\/a> on Thursday night, is already over that.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think people feel a social pressure to be funny, especially as a coveted role in social groups,\u201d she recently told Vulture<\/em><\/a> while discussing a 2015 track about not wanting to be funny<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s like, if you are making them laugh, then you don\u2019t have to be beautiful or a bitch. I think you should get a break from your box, even if you like your box.\u201d<\/p>\n
