THE LONESOME HEROES

Despite the name, Austin’s the Lonesome Heroes have been releasing music and playing shows for a whopping 21 years. To mark the occasion, they’re gifting their audience with a bit of their live faire with Live & Lonesome at the Purple Bee, a collection of songs recorded at the hybrid recording studio and live concert streaming venue Purple Bee Studios, located in Volente, TX.

In this live recording, 21 years of songwriting together and cohesion on stage are front and center with country blues strings dancing through a bed that two-steps between Americana and a crescendo building to a big, jubulent finish. “Sunshine Come” will have you turning your living room into a dance floor, so boot-up, grab a partner, and get ready to cut a rug.

KUTX Song of the Day - “Sunshine Come”

Thank you Austin Chronicle for the sweet words about our November Showcase and New Record Almost Aluminum!!!

"Fifteen years ago, before the White Horse or Sagebrush, the Lonesome Heroes forged a local alt.country scene with their Wednesday night residency at the Hole in the Wall, helping catalyze the fringes of an emergent Americana in Austin. Now the band’s ever-evolving lineup around troubadouring frontman Rich Russell celebrates its 20th anniversary with a new album – the nostalgia-ripped Almost Aluminum – and makes HITW home base once more throughout November. The first Wednesday showcase gathers the Beth Chrisman and Silas Lowe folkgrass collaboration Lost Patterns and David Longoria’s mellow melodies and provocative guitar-picking as Longriver. – Doug Freeman

So excited to return to my hometown of Brooklyn with my friends Georgia Parker & Hunter Burgamy in September!

"So even though roller skating may be most closely associated to disco (at least historically speaking), there’s an Austin outfit putting those trucks on a whole new set of wheels. That’s The Lonesome Heroes, who’ve endured the rinks of the local live scene (and far beyond) for nearly twenty years now, weaving between the best parts of indie, country, and Americana. Most recently, this veteran quintet scored another milestone with their sixth LP Seasons Change, which has already racked up some impressive streaming numbers in the short time since its November release.

And in line with frontman Rich Russell’s decision to open up the record’s writing process to a few Austin friends, these hometown heroes are lookin’ a little less lonesome in the album opener “Placebo Sun”‘s new music video…as a matter of fact they rounded up a whole roller posse to kick off their boots and strap on some skates!"

Back on the road & back in the Mountain States!

So thrilled to pack up the van and some new songs and meet my friend Brianna Straut in California for another tour!
