Known for a series of critically acclaimed albums in the 1990s culminating with an appearance (as September 67) on the Lilith Fair tour and for collaborations with fellow Charlottesville-based musicians Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds, Worrell's acoustic songwriting has been described as "subtly orchestrated chamber pop"[1] and "like a lean country cousin of the Throwing Muses.
Worrell played in a band called Paris Match while earning an undergraduate degree in Religious Studies at UVA ,[5] but left to work as a solo artist sometime after 1991.
She played in various locations around Charlottesville's Downtown Mall for several years; in particular, she jammed with Haines Fullerton (formerly of local band the Deal), Tim Reynolds, and Dave Matthews on several occasions.
Lucky Shoe was produced by David Lowery of Camper Van Beethoven and Cracker and featured contributions from Bryan Harvey,[13] John Alagia (who co-wrote "Little Lantern Face"), and the backing musicians from Sparklehorse.
[15] During the Lilith Fair tour, the group recorded a live song called "Steve Malkmus is a Fucking Snob," which appeared as a non-album track on the EP "What's Wrong with Alice.
Worrell took time off from music after the release of the album to raise her children and start Light House Studio, a non-profit media education center for Charlottesville youth.
