Eddie 9V w/ Jacob Larson + NJ Tranzit

Lost Lake Presents Eddie 9V with Jacob Larson and NJ Tranzit on Thursday, February 16th. As far back as he can remember, Capricorn Studios was calling Eddie 9V. As a kid scanning the sleeves of his favorite vinyl records, this fabled facility in Macon, Georgia, was always the secret ingredient, adding a little grit and honey to every song born on its floor. Capricorn and the bands who blew through it urged the Atlanta guitarist to ditch school at 15, play his fingers bloody throughout the south, and turn apathy into acclaim for early albums Left My Soul in Memphis (2019) and Little Black Flies (2021). Eddie spent his first quarter-century admiring Capricorn from afar. But in December 2021, the 26-year-old finally put his thumbprint on the studio’s mythology, corralling an eleven-strong group of the American South’s best roots musicians to track his third album. “There was overwhelming excitement at being in such a legendary studio,” he says. “But we hugged and got right to work. Everyone was joyous, loving, and flat-out playing their asses off.” You don’t come to Capricorn Studios for polish. Frozen in time since its opening day in 1969, the mojo from sessions by giants like the Allman Brothers and Bonnie Bramlett still hangs in the air, while the recording philosophy remains gloriously raw. That suited Eddie, whose output has been celebrated for its warts-and-all snapshot of what went down. “In a world where everyone is trying to sound the best, I’m trying to sound like me,” he reasons. “I always want the listener to feel like they’re in the room with us. So I’d leave it in if a drum pedal squeaked or someone laughed during a take on the Capricorn album. It’s our way of putting a stamp on the song.” Eddie’s old-school ethos goes way back. Born Brooks Mason in June 1996, he acquired his first guitar aged six, “One of those with the speaker in it – the most bang for your buck, y’know?”, ignored the prevailing pop scene at Oak Grove High School in favor of local heroes like Sean Costello and studied “older cats” like Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, Freddie King, and Rory Gallagher “to see what made them groove and tick.” His shoot-from-the-lip lyrics adds Eddie came from family fish fries, where his Uncle Brian “taught me to make people laugh, how to hold an audience’s attention.” Already, there has been massive acclaim for his early output, with Left My Soul in Memphis dubbed “fresh and life-affirming” by Rock & Blues Muse and Little Black Flies praised by Classic Rock as “the most instinctive blues you’ll hear all year.” But as the Capricorn sessions ticked closer, Eddie fused the nervous energy into his best songs yet. “Coming off a straight blues record, I wanted to show people we’re more than that,” he reflects. “I was listening to Muscle Shoals and soul, a lot of music recorded at Capricorn in the late-’60s too. So we spent way more time crafting the new tunes. Each song took a week to write, instead of five in one night like Little Black Flies.” Never meet your heroes, they say, and many young artists have been overwhelmed by walking the holy ground of their dream studios. At Capricorn, Eddie 9V breathed in the history – but the album he spat out is worthy of sharing the name, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the studio’s greatest hits and taking music back to the golden age. “We made this record,” he considers, “the way they would have done in 1969…” – 16+, under 16 admitted with ticketed guardian

Bendigo Fletcher w/ The Wonderfool

Lost Lake Presents Bendigo Fletcher with The Wonderfool on Saturday, April 8th.  Shapeshifting on an axis between folk, alternative, country, and soul, Bendigo Fletcher’s lofty melodies soar above earthy instrumentation on their 2022 Wingding EP [Elektra Records].  Charmed with psychedelic flourishes, yet tightly rooted in tried-and-true songcraft, the Louisville quintet—Ryan Anderson [lead vocals, guitar, banjo], Andrew Shupert [backing vocals, lead guitar], Evan Wagner [backing vocals, keys, guitar, percussion], Conner Powell [bass], and Chris Weis [drums]—continues to instantly transfix across the EP’s four tracks. “More than a few times, I’ve explored the Wingding font universe as an entertaining break from more pressing tasks. I like the name ‘Wingding’ for a fictional creature, like the Mothman of West Virginia folklore. It’s also another word for party,” Anderson says. “This EP is a collection of distractions we built over the last few years when gatherings and adventures felt pretty unattainable.” After crisscrossing paths in the Louisville scene and life in general (“Chris is my brother-in-law’s childhood best friend,” notes Anderson), Bendigo Fletcher initially formed in 2016. The group organically built an audience across their native Kentucky one gig at a time. During 2018, they made waves with the independent Consensual Wisdom EP highlighted by fan favorites “Wonderfully Bizarre” and “Soul Factory.”  Following a tireless grind, the band signed to Elektra Records and unveiled their debut album, Fits of Laughter in 2021. Beyond amassing millions of streams, the album earned widespread critical acclaim from Rolling Stone, American Songwriter, FLOOD Magazine, and more. Music Connection dubbed it, “Alt-rock, country-flecked folk-rock soaked in LSD,” while Atwood Magazine praised the collection as “a record of reverie, celebration, and true to its name, laughter: music made for good times and bad, that promises to leave us all a little more elated.” Along the way, Bendigo Fletcher captivated crowds on tour with the likes of Rainbow Kitten Surprise, Hiss Golden Messenger, Mt. Joy, Nathaniel Rateliff, Anderson East, Rayland Baxter, and Shakey Graves.  – 16+, under 16 admitted with ticketed guardian

Matt Heckler w/ Johno Leeroy + Joe’s Truck Stop

Lost Lake Presents Matt Heckler with Johno Leeroy and Joe’s Truck Stop on February 24 — MATT HECKLER is a solo multi-instrumentalist that barely fits into any ordinary musicalcategory. He tends to keep to the darker side of Appalachian mountain music and earlybluegrass but listen long enough and you’ll soon be transported to the mountains of EasternEurope or a dimly lit bar in Ireland where they honor those who have passed with a gentlyswaying a cappella ballad.After touring almost nonstop for years in support of bands like Devil Makes Three, Lost DogStreet Band, Flogging Molly, and others, HECKLER, like the rest of us, got sidelined by theongoing global pandemic. With the newfound time off, he set to pushing creative boundariesin his home recording studio as far as his mind would allow. Each fiddle, banjo, and guitartrack carefully put in place all the while retaining the grit and energy reflected in his liveshows. Paired perfectly as the sequel to After The Flood, the Blood, Water, Coal album is adefining release in his career.Blood, Water, Coal was performed and recorded by MATT HECKLER with upright bass andbacking vocals provided by Jeff Loops (Lost Dog Street Band). While recording Blood,Water, Coal, MATT HECKLER released The Magnolia Sessions outdoor live set – themaiden release for the now popular series – which made it to #9 on the Bluegrass BillboardCharts. The Magnolia Sessions was still charting upon the release of Blood, Water, Coal,which debuted at #3, leaving HECKLER with two albums running on the Billboard Chartssimultaneously.HECKLER writes, “I started working on this album over a year ago in my home. Ran into alot of snags and problems inherent in self-recording, but being alone, just a mic and myinstruments, was the only way to capture the raw emotions this collection of songs holds forme. Some of these tunes were written over a decade ago, most of them in more recentyears. Others took years to write. But now that it’s done, I can confidently say this album isthe perfect sequel to After The Flood.”- 16+, under 16 admitted with ticketed guardian
