What began as a sort of solo/side project for stellar singer and multi-instrumentalist Stacy King, towards the end of her time with famed former group (and sibling act) Eisely, Sucré has, every few years, seemingly gone through a creative, sonic, and personnel revision, landing on the stylish, layered, electro-laced sound they’ve recently adopted.

In our now seven years covering the Nashville music scene, we’ve seen plenty of talented bands come and go, and it’s always a shame to see any promising local act throw in the towel.
