BIO

“I ain’t looking behind, I ain’t looking ahead. I’m just lucky to be here at all.”  -FB &t LL
 
At the heart of Fairbanks & the Lonesome Light are Erik Flores and Amelia Rose Logan, writing songs dressed in two-part harmony with the kind of spark that could light your day…or your cigarette. The band is a backyard duo who grew into a sweeping five-piece outfit with musical temperaments veering between Indie Rock and Classic Americana. Guitars, Mandolin, Drums, Bass and Pedal Steel create the space where their stories play out.

After years of running separately in the same music circles, the duo landed in Los Angeles by way of Austin,TX and found roots for their Indie Americana ideas in the artistic community of Echo Park, where their self titled debut was recorded. Stirring with movement and rough around the edges, Echo Park played a big part in shaping the band's ideas and sound. Since the release of their debut the band has traveled, enjoyed US and EURO Americana charting airplay, written and recorded their next release and are now calling Austin, TX their home base.

Their follow up release, "Nothing to Escape", due out in August 2017, is another collection of personally revealing stories pulling back the curtain on everything from the struggles of addiction to the beauties of becoming a parent. Recorded with the help of producer Raymond Richards (Local Natives, Honey Honey, Avid Dancer) and performed by an outstanding band the new songs are sung with the kind of authenticity that demands repeat listens.

With restless reflection, sweet harmony and a solid foundation of Roots/Americana music, Erik and Amelia draw from the same traditions that Jeff Tweedy, The Band, Ryan Adams, Neil Young, Gillian Welch and others cut from that cloth seem to lean toward.

Fairbanks & the Lonesome Light will be celebrating the release of their new album with regional tours, shows in New York, Los Angeles and other select national dates.
