Outside of their own community based shows, Lucy has also performed at LA Fashion Week, World Pride NYC, The Rose Bowl’s Rose Festival, CMJ Music Marathon, Echo Park Rising, KCRW's Chinatown Summer Nights, Jam in the Van, BalconyTV, and also performed for the Mayor of LA. The band started the “Love Is Gay” annual benefit festival in 2017, a concert of queer fronted indie artists and vendors, which raised funding for the LA LGBT Center.

Lucy LaForge, the artist behind the name “Lucy & La Mer”, is known for her upbeat and optimistic songs, as well as for her mental health advocacy within the LGBTQ community. Coming out in an interview in 2018, Billboard stated that the singer is “proud of who and what she is.”
