More about LACE AND LEE
Lace and Lee is an indie-folk duo steeped in ‘60s and ‘70s storytelling, channeling their wit and bard-like prose into music that is genuinely their own: ethereal vocals and haunting harmonies set against sharp, evocative lyrics and acoustic-rock instrumentation. Since the start of 2025, they’ve built a catalog of songs that shift shape with each story—guitars, cellos, violins, mandolin, keyboards, drums and piano moving in and out as the songs demand. Olivia Lee Ondrasik and Caroline Lace McPherson met studying musical theater at NYU TISCH and upon graduating from the New Studio on Broadway began writing togetherin 2024. Out of their shared fervor for songwriting and profound friendship, Lace and Lee was born.
