On Monday June 9, Lucie was advised by APRA AMCOS that she’d been selected for their 23% Mentorship Program which came with a grant of payment of $3,000. There were 14 grants offered and Lucie was one of only four artists selected from APRA AMCOS members in the UK, Europe and North America.
The APRA AMCOS grants garnered a lot of attention in the press and, due to the fact that Lucie Tiger was the only Country music artist to be selected for a grant, High On Country published a feature article about her - see link.

Lucie Tiger is quickly becoming a respected artist in country music and has been called a “country-rock sensation” (COWGIRL Magazine).
A performer and songwriter with undeniable talent and stage appeal, Lucie Tiger and her band have recently played Nashville’s iconic Whiskey Jam, opened for Tyler Farr, headlined the WC Handy Festival Block Party, and shared stages with Grammy-winning artists like Gary Nichols and Jimbo Hart.
