Lucas Ohio and the Shamblers Featured on KFOG’s Local Scene 6 CD!

Lucas Ohio Pattie’s song “All Good People,” from his second album “Steps Toward Home” was selected by San Francisco’s KFOG to be included in their Local Scene 6 CD.  KFOG describes the compilation CD as an “eclectic collection of some of the best bands and singer-songwriters emerging from the vibrant Northern California music scene.”  All proceeds from the sale of the album benefit Music in Schools Today, a San Francisco-based nonprofit organization promoting music education in public schools and youth centers in low income neighborhoods since 1983.  The CD and merchandise related to Local Scene 6 CD are available from KFOG’s website at www.kfog.com.
Just in!  Lucas and the band are pleased to let fans know that their CDs are now available through Rasputin Music (Berkeley and San Francisco) and Amoeba Records (Berkeley)!

Lucas Ohio and the Shamblers continue to enjoy great media coverage – here are four articles from the last several months. 

Published several months ago in the Pleasanton Weekly is “From Pleasanton to Nashville” by Emily West when Lucas was still poised to head east to Nashville.  However, then a band of extraordinary talent began forming around Lucas.  This development, coupled with KFOG radio featuring the Shamblers’ “All Good People” on the station’s most recent annual Local Scene CD Vol. 6 release, it was decided to stay planted in the Bay Area’s vibrant music scene.  San Luis Obispo’s Tribune features a story by Patrick Pemberton entitled "SLO Musicians Seek Success Outside of Area.”  Its focus is Lucas Ohio and the Shamblers, Scissors for Lefty, M. Ward of Monsters of Folk, Rhodes, and other successful artists who have migrated to larger markets in order to build their music careers.  Still another great article by Allie Schratz is featured in the East Bay’s Diablo Magazine.  Covering the Bay Area music scene and beyond, Rarwriter.com gets the background and history on the name Lucas Ohio Pattie.  Rick Alan Rice concludes it is “among his many assets, with musical syllables that could almost stand alone as haiku.”
