Performing at UK festivals such as Glastonbury, Isle Of Wight Festival, and Cornbury led to the right doors to bring Jonny Lucas to Nashville, TN.

The British artist has seen his career as a songwriter and producer grow enormously through working with:

Desmond Child (Livin’ On A Prayer – Bon Jovi, Dude Looks Like A Lady – Aerosmith)
Roger Cook (Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress – The Hollies, I’d Like To Teach The World To Sing – The New Seekers)
Lincoln Parish (Melophobia – Cage The Elephant)
Tony Esterly (Young & Dangerous – The Struts, Satisfied – Sia)

Drawing influence from Brit legends such as Ray Davies, Bowie, and Jeff Lynne along with the modern production of artists such as Harry Styles, Borns, Cage The Elephant, and Portugal The Man it's easy to see why his releases are a hit with the alternative rock/indie audience. With close to a million streams on Spotify, Jonny's latest endeavor is rapidly gaining traction as he approaches the release of his 8th single, "Living On." Armed with raucous guitars, sticky melodies, upbeat hooks, and an all-around fresh, positive new energy Jonny is more excited than ever to release what he believes to be his best music to date.

Cosmos-wrangling Americana upstart Israel Nash returns from Texas Hill Country with his Silver Season, a deeply gorgeous and wholly immersive nine-song set that plays less like an album, and more like a cross section of time and space. The man's fourth LP ventures farther down the acid-soaked trail blazed by 2013's Rain Plans, arriving in lush and expansive territory. Here, this Missouri son sounds more assured than ever, supported by his highly capable band and production inspired by psychedelic greats. Israel Nash's Silver Season is best played loudly, and sounds wonderful in headphones. 

Like the record before it, this one was made on Nash's 15-acre swath of land in Dripping Springs, Texas, with one key difference. While Rain Plans was recorded inside of the new home he shared with his then-pregnant wife, Silver Season was born in the studio Nash built outside and named Plum Creek Sound, a 1,400 square- foot Quonset erected in March. The band was ready to begin in late May when the floods came, filling the building with water and muck. Nash and the boys pushed on anyhow. Digging trenches, hauling sandbags, clearing mud, and plugging in—that's how they made an album, doing what needed to be done.

The end result isn't so terrestrial, however. Silver Season billows outward with its opening song, "Willow." A swirl of keys, bass, pedal steel, acoustic strum, and languid drums envelop the listener as Nash's cooed poetry recontextualizes the world through his daughter's eyes. A shimmery Morricone-like passage carries us into "Parlour Song," which sounds a little like Neil Young leading Tame Impala. "Sooner or later we'll surrender our guns/But not until we've shot everyone," Nash sings. And while the line would fit into a celebratory tale about Old West outlaws, it's actually a modern lament. 

From the warm drift and easy elasticity of "Strangers" (one of two cuts that verge on seven minutes) to the holler-along gospel of "The Rag & Bone Man," Silver Season feels like a living thing. That's a product of the wild five-man sessions that took place in the sweltering Quonset (with beer breaks, and slingshot target practice using the empties). It's also due to the care put into taming all of that good noise, with engineer Ted Young (Kurt Vile, Sonic Youth) returning to the mix. The analog hum grounds the guitar wizardry, while the depth of sound ties the band to the pasture that surrounds. 

It makes sense that Nash would come into his own out there. He was raised in the Ozarks amidst hills and farmland. Other things add up too. His pastor father and artist mother were very much children of the '60s. Dad bought him Sgt. Pepper's when he was 10, Mom handed him an electric guitar at 11, and Nash was writing songs by 12. And while he's grown away from the religion he was raised under, Nash's music is nothing if not spiritual. The spirit just comes from a different place—nature, family, song, and the occasional trip into times and spaces we can't normally access. Hidden within the folds of Silver Season, Nash's weather-beaten voice says it best: 

"I don't live like the others/I see twice as many colors."
