ABOUT LADY LAMB: [http://www.ladylambjams.com/] Originally Lady Lamb the Beekeeper [https://www.allmusic.com/artist/lady-lamb-the-beekeeper-mn0003031705], Lady Lamb [https://www.allmusic.com/artist/lady-lamb-mn0003582760] is the stage name used by Aly Spaltro [https://www.allmusic.com/artist/aly-spaltro-mn0003071981], a singer and songwriter whose music is a beguiling and imaginative fusion of folk, pop, and indie rock. Emerging in 2009 with a collection of home recordings, Spaltro [https://www.allmusic.com/artist/spaltro-mn0003071981] issued her evocative debut full-length effort, Ripely Pine [https://www.allmusic.com/album/ripely-pine-mw0002461642], in 2013 via Ba Da Bing Records. She continued to hone her introspective songwriting skills on subsequent offerings like After [https://www.allmusic.com/album/after-mw0002799965] (2015) and Even in the Tremor [https://www.allmusic.com/album/even-in-the-tremor-mw0003252971] (2019). Spaltro [https://www.allmusic.com/artist/spaltro-mn0003071981] was born in Portsmouth, New Hampshire in 1990, and relocated to Brunswick, Maine with her family in 2003. A serious film enthusiast, Spaltro [https://www.allmusic.com/artist/spaltro-mn0003071981] became a regular customer at a video rental shop in Brunswick, Bart & Greg's DVD Explosion, and after graduating from high school, she took a job at the shop during a gap year before entering art school. Spaltro [https://www.allmusic.com/artist/spaltro-mn0003071981] was working the closing shift at DVD Explosion, and with the permission of the owners, she used the space as a makeshift music studio after hours, writing and recording songs on makeshift gear from late at night into early in the morning. In 2007, she began releasing home-crafted recordings of her songs, featuring her own artwork and sold at a local music store; instead of billing herself as Aly Spaltro [https://www.allmusic.com/artist/aly-spaltro-mn0003071981], she used the name Lady Lamb the Beekeeper [https://www.allmusic.com/artist/lady-lamb-the-beekeeper-mn0003031705], taken from some late-night jottings in her journal. Hoping to expand her boundaries as a musician, Spaltro [https://www.allmusic.com/artist/spaltro-mn0003071981] moved to Portland, Maine in 2008, and began making a name for herself on the local music scene. In 2013, she was approached by Brooklyn, New York's Ba Da Bing Records to record an album, and Ripely Pine [https://www.allmusic.com/album/ripely-pine-mw0002461642] became Lady Lamb the Beekeeper [https://www.allmusic.com/artist/lady-lamb-the-beekeeper-mn0003031705]'s first nationally distributed release. The album earned enthusiastic reviews and led to extensive touring in the United States, Europe, and the United Kingdom. She jumped to Mom + Pop Records for her next full-length album, 2015's After [https://www.allmusic.com/album/after-mw0002799965]. It landed on the Billboard rock, independent, and Heatseekers albums charts. She followed it in late 2016 with the vulnerable Tender Warriors Club [https://www.allmusic.com/album/tender-warriors-club-mw0003006452] EP, which saw her officially crop her pseudonym to Lady Lamb [https://www.allmusic.com/artist/lady-lamb-mn0003582760]. Spaltro [https://www.allmusic.com/artist/spaltro-mn0003071981] returned to Ba Da Bing for her third studio LP, the inward-looking Even in the Tremor [https://www.allmusic.com/album/even-in-the-tremor-mw0003252971].
