Giant thanks and appreciation to Cecyl Ruehlen for his patience and support in putting this out into the world. Dedicated to my dear Dad for teaching me to keep my ears wide open.
Lucky is a compilation of happy accidental living room sit-down sessions of what fell out of my hands, recordings made for filmmaker Jeremy Moss (Franklin & Marshall) and choreographer and filmmaker Tori Lawrence (Tori Lawrence + Co), and field recordings of fortunately minimal-to-no people-produced sounds (voices or vehicles) collected during an afternoon in Madera Canyon just south of Tucson where I've made my home for the past 30 years and across the four seasons from 2021-2024 in Wisconsin where I grew up surrounded by prairies, ponds, marshes, creeks, and woods.
