Marce Lacouture

Marce Lacouture began singing professionally in Austin folk and rock bands and in 1984 formed a duo with legendary singer/songwriter Butch Hancock. Together they recorded two fine collaborative albums, Yella Rose and Cause of the Cactus. They often shared stages with such genre-defying friends as Lyle Lovett, Lucinda Williams, Nanci Griffith, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Joe Ely and Marcia Ball. Marce’s voice has had an impact on many, including British author Nick Hornby, who describes a transformative night of music by Marce and Butch in his 2002 book Songbook. The 1980s also found Marce heading to Louisiana to explore her Cajun heritage.
