Songwriter, guitarist and fiddle player Lucas Lawson is nowadays joined just about everywhere by mandolinist Leland Mackessy. The two young musicians from Santa Cruz, California play together to continue on the bluegrass/americana sound in Lucas’s own mellow and melodic songs.

Lucas Lawson grew up on a small farm just north of Santa Cruz where he learned how to play guitar at seven years of age. This upbringing influenced him to try to bring positive and successful change one community at a time by sharing emotion and introspection through music. Lucas pays his respects to the land, our customs, and communities through transformative lyrics and heartfelt melodies, forging a bond with listeners who have endured struggles akin to his own.
