THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “Lonesome Shack conjure a spirit that drifts between city and desert, navigating trials of love, loss and the natural world. With an ear to folk and blues traditions, they craft songs that stir the heart and shake the soul.
On their eighth studio album Song Of The Horse, they dig deeper into forces of nature and elemental grooves. Song Of The Horse was recorded by Johnny Goss in a three-day session at Dandelion Gold on the outskirts of Tucson. The bandmembers were joined by their old friend and legendary Tucson musician Tom Walbank on harmonica for the session.
Lonesome Shack’s story began on the edge of the Gila Wilderness in Catron County, New Mexico, where Ben Day Todd lived in a small shack for four years with his girlfriend at the time. There, his interest in American and international folk and blues music grew, and he began performing and recording under the name Lonesome Shack. Ben met longtime bandmates Kristian Garrard and Luke Bergman at Cafe Racer in Seattle in the late 2000s. Now they live in three corners of the States — Ben in Escondido, CA, Kristian in Bothell, WA and Luke in N.Y.C. Despite the distance, the magnetic trio continue to meet up for recordings and performances worldwide.”
