Live from Desert 5: Laci Kaye Booth

Desert 5 Spot is excited to have one of country's emerging talents Laci Kaye Booth with us for a very special show... not to be missed!

Country storyteller Laci Kaye Booth has made her name on raw, honest songs that blend the tragic swoon of dream-pop with the lush songcraft that flows out of her home base of Nashville.

In 2026, freshly signed to Lost Highway Records, she emerges renewed, grounded in a healthy mindset and career set to bloom like never before — but it hasn’t always been that way.

Inspired by her and others’ journeys in and out of lover’s hell, Laci has poured her many lessons learned into her cinematic third album, Love Ain’t For The Faint Of Heart.

Produced by Ben West, the LP is a rewarding ride through diverse sounds, harsh reckonings, and serious growth — a moment of actualization on a rich trip thus far. Laci grew up in smalltown Livingston, TX, about 75 miles north of Houston. Mom bought her first acoustic guitar and though her dad, country artist Jody Booth, wasn’t around much, they bonded over a shared love of legends like Merle and Patsy.

Following in his footsteps, she moved to Music City and, after 2021’s more straightforward self-titled debut, Laci found her footing. The Loneliest Girl In The World, released on Geffen in 2024, was an authentic expansion of her sound that won her time on the road with Ella Langley, Parker McCollum, Megan Moroney, Marcus King Band, and more, not to mention her Grand Ole Opry debut. Last year, as the new songs crept into her setlist, Laci felt two things: a sense of catharsis as she let out old ghosts, and certitude that she’s in the right place now.
