We cut all the songs live in the same room with lots of bleed. A bunch of the songs we captured in one take, first time through.” Much like his music, Lund is decidedly hard to define. The western Canadian singer-songwriter is an elusive artist — onstage, offstage and in the studio — seamlessly weaving between the outlaw country, Western, and indie-folk realms with an honest curiosity and rowdy devotion to each. Raised on the rolling prairies of Alberta in the shadow of the Rocky Mountains, and hailing from generations of ranchers and rodeo people, Lund was instilled with the tried-n-true DIY sentiment of “if you want something done, you gotta do it yourself.” “Growing up in a rural setting, you learned to do everything on your own — weld, fix a fence, fix a truck, start colts, whatever” Lund says. “At the start of my career, I just assumed I wouldn’t have a lot of help from the music industry, so I just did it all on my own — recorded albums in my basement, printed my own t-shirts, booked my own tours, became my own manager and publicist, whatever it took to get it done.” Lund has a devoted audience comprised of city dwellers, along with authentic Western music fans still living an agricultural lifestyle; both sects finding elements of their lives reflected within the themes of the music, due to the fact that he toured for years with indie-metal band the smalls, and later turned his sights to writing Western songs. This has created a unique and quirky hybrid writing style. Within Lund’s 11-song LP is a common theme — possibly even a character thread — of the gambler, the outlaw who roams from place-to-place with no direction home, except for an unrelenting journey to seek out what lies just beyond the unknown horizon. “It’s a lot of minor keys and gambling songs, is what it is,” Lund says. “It was just a few of us in my house. No studio. No outside producer. No adults in the room. No stress. I put a ton of work into the stuff beforehand and that made the band arrangement stuff a lot of fun to work out.” Gathering around his living room, Lund & Co. tapped into his most cherished musical influences of acoustic tone and lyrical aptitude — Marty Robbins, Kris Kristofferson, Bobbie Gentry, Jerry Reed. “Since I was 10 years old, my favorite record of all-time is Marty Robbins’ ‘Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs’,” Lund says. “I identify very strongly with Western music. There aren’t a lot of artists writing legit cowboy stuff anymore, but there’s a few of us doing it, or trying to.” Peeling back the layers and tales of his own ancestors, Lund makes note of his great-grandfather and how his presence — his ongoing legend and family lore — hung around the recording session. “He was apparently sort of a road gambler in Montana in the 1890s, as well as a whiskey bootlegger before settling our family homestead” Lund says. "I’ve heard more than a few stories about him. My mom denies it still, but I’ve seen his name in the Butte, Montana police blotter. He's there, alright. The song ‘When the Game Gets Hot’ is about a card cheat — about knowing how far to push it before you get caught.” Reflecting on the vast, unforgiving landscape of his native Alberta and neighboring Montana, Lund can’t help but muse on how culturally, the real border is not so much the international east/west boundary, but the north/south line of Rocky Mountains themselves — the West in all its glory and perilous nature. “People in the Rockies are very self-reliant and there’s a fiery streak of independence out here,” Lund says. “So, all the cowboy stuff I sing about translates all the way down to Arizona and Texas — there’s a shared western lifestyle that transcends the border.” And it’s that shared culture of the West which resided in the heart of soul of the late Ian Tyson. The famed Canadian singer-songwriter passed away last December, with friends and family far and wide raising a toast to the icon himself — Tyson, aka: “El Viejo.” “He did his own thing, had his own sound and was never a person who chased trends. He was a close friend of the band and he clued me into the fact that cowboy stuff, including the music, translates south of the border. The West is the West,” Lund says. “Ian’s writing partner and our mutual friend, Tom Russell, used to call him ‘El Viejo,’ meaning ‘the old one’ or ‘the wise one.’ His death was a big loss for everybody — this record is in honor of my friend, Ian Tyson – ‘El Viejo’.” WEBSITE  |  INSTAGRAM  |  FACEBOOK  |  X  |  TIKTOK Hayes Carll Singer and songwriter Hayes Carll is an artist whose rootsy sound finds room for the playful swagger of rock & roll, the relatable storytelling of country, and the thoughtful introspection of folk. Capable of singing about boozy debauchery and relationships in the balance with equal skill, Carll rose through the ranks of the Americana community after emerging on the scene in the early 2000s, making his breakthrough as an independent artist and maintaining a regular guy's outlook even as he found a sizable audience. 2005's self-released Little Rock was a commercial and critical breakthrough, 2011's KMAG YOYO (& Other American Stories) and 2016's Lovers and Leavers were widely acclaimed as among his finest work, and 2021's You Get It All found him embracing a purer country influence. The singer/songwriter received his first guitar at the age of 15 and almost immediately began writing songs influenced by the likes of Bob Dylan, John Prine, Kris Kristofferson, and the Beat-era writings of Jack Kerouac, all of which continued to reverberate in Carll's mature songwriting style. After graduating in 1998 with a history degree from Hendrix College in Conway, Arkansas, Carll returned to Texas, settling in Crystal Beach, where he played his own material in the local bars. After a stay in Austin, he returned home and continued to play gigs in the Galveston and Houston area, picking up a loyal following. Carll signed to Compadre Records and in 2002 released a debut album, Flowers and Liquor, which garnered him favorable comparisons to Townes Van Zandt. Turning down a deal from Sugar Hill Records, Carll released his second album, Little Rock, on his own Highway 87 Records; produced by R.S. Field, it reached the top spot on the Americana charts in 2005. He signed with Universal Music's roots-music subsidiary Lost Highway Records in 2006, and they released Trouble in Mind in 2008. Carll's clever, witty lyrics developed a strong ironic streak, particularly on "She Left Me for Jesus," a song he had co-written with Brian Keane. Carll's reputation got a boost when four of his songs appeared in the 2010 film Country Strong, with Gwyneth Paltrow in the starring role. Now firmly established as a next-generation Texas singer and writer in the manner of Lone Star icons such as Townes Van Zandt, Guy Clark, and Ray Wylie Hubbard, Carll released a second album for Lost Highway, KMAG YOYO (& Other American Stories), in 2011. (The title comes from a bit of military slang; it's an abbreviation for "Kiss My Ass Guys, You're on Your Own.") The album won the Americana Music Association's Album of the Year award and was placed on several year-end best-of lists by media outlets. Carll and Lost Highway parted company the following year; he and his wife also divorced around this time, and he began reassessing his career, sticking closer to Austin while he still toured the U.S. and Europe regularly over the next few years. Carll enjoyed a windfall in 2014 when Lee Ann Womack covered his song "Chances Are" and scored a minor hit; the song, Womack, and Carll all received Grammy nominations in 2015 for Best Country Solo Performance, while Womack's album featuring the tune, The Way I'm Livin', was also nominated for Best Country Album. In January 2016, Carll issued the single "The Love That We Need," co-written with Allison Moorer and Jack Ingram. The song was a preview of Carll's fifth studio album, Lovers and Leavers, which was recorded with producer Joe Henry, and issued the following April on Hwy 87 Records via Thirty Tigers. Carll partnered with the roots-oriented independent label Dualtone Records to release 2019's What It Is. Carll spent quarantine time in early 2020 by revisiting his songbook, releasing the results as Alone Together Sessions in August that year. The album contained cameos by Ray Wylie Hubbard and Allison Moorer. Moorer was back in the studio with Kenny Greenberg to produce Carll's next project, 2021's You Get It All, a country-oriented LP that featured a guest vocal from Brandy Clark In 2024 Hayes released Hayes and the Heathens with Austin rock stalwarts Band of Heathens.
