Grove City and Hollywood may be polar opposites but aspiring rockstar Lucy Walsh wouldn’t have it any other way.

Walsh, the daughter of legendary Eagles guitarist Joe Walsh, lives full-time in Hollywood but regularly visits Grove City, where her mother, stepdad and two siblings live.

“They moved to Grove City five years ago for my stepdad’s job,” Walsh, 25, explained. “Since then, I’ve spent a lot of time here.”

According to Walsh, some of her favorite local spots include the Coffee Grove and Leesburg Falls.

“There is nothing like (Leesburg Falls) in L.A.,” said Walsh, adding that she loved the lush green trees that grow there. “It’s such a great place to go and relax.”

In addition, Walsh also said she hopes to get a chance to visit the Guthrie Theater the next time she is in Grove City.

“I love coming back,” she said. “Grove City is a great place to get away.”

Unfortunately, Walsh has no time for rest and relaxation as she is competing in MTV’s newest series, Rock the Cradle. The eight-week-long series pits the 25-year-old singer against eight other rockstar children with similar dreams of stardom.

“Nine of us kids will perform songs live every week,” Walsh explained. “We really get to strut our stuff and it’s very exciting.”

Walsh is competing against A’Keiba Burrell, daughter of rapper MC Hammer, Landon Brown, eldest son of New Edition member Bobby Brown, Lara Johnston, daughter of Doobie Brothers singer Tom Johnston, Chloe Lattanzi, daughter of singer and actress Olivia Newton-John, Crosby Loggins, son of singer Kenny Loggins, Jesse Money, daughter of singer Eddie Money, Jesse Blaze Snider, son of Twisted Sister singer Dee Snider and Lil B. Sure!, son of R&B singer Al B. Sure!.

A panel of four judges rate the performances each week but viewers at home decide which of the singers should be sent home through online and telephone voting.

The show premiered live last Thursday and Walsh had a very strong showing from both the judges and audience. She was given the highest rating out of all the performers by the judges, which makes her ineligible to be voted off.

One judge even commented that Walsh was “the one to beat” after her energetic cover of “The Heart of the Matter” by Don Henley, her dad’s band mate in the Eagles.

While Walsh surely enjoyed the victory, it may have also been bittersweet as her famous dad was the only parent not in attendance at the show. He is currently on tour in Europe, his daughter explained, although she added that he did not necessarily approve of her participation in the show.

“He’s uncomfortable with reality television,” Walsh revealed. “He’s nervous but also really proud.”
