Alright Memphis, you know you haven’t reached your quota this week for hearty singer/songwriter music, but there’s no need to panic!
Sunday brings the guitar mastery and song writing excellence of Austin Lucas to the Otherlands Coffeebar, and it’s a show that you really shouldn’t miss.
Austin Lucas has made a name for himself touring across the country. He’s played with appearances at Canada’s Sled Island Festival, Florida’s Harvest of Hope, at the Philadelphia Folk Festival, and even did a stint on The Revival Tour. He’s penned and released 5 albums since his debut, 2006’s The Common Cold, all of which have gained him a wealth of fans and critical acclaim.
Lately, Lucas has been showcasing work for his most recent effort, A new Home in an Old World. Song’s like “Thunder Rail” show Lucas’ taste for accessible choruses while still retaining his impressive 6-string work.
Lucas won’t work alone this Sunday; in fact, he’s not the only Austin on the bill. Austin Smith is from Northwest Arkansas and travels from Conway to spread his infectious warbly guitar pop. He’s a recent transplant to our fine city, so we should be seeing much more of him in the near future.
