GOOD LUCK SHOES

 As heard on BBC Introducing, The Lost Notes are a Folk/Americana Roots band from Moseley, Birmingham. Formed in 2014 they have been "taking the folk world by storm!" (Folk For Folk's Sake Radio) with their energetic and entertaining live shows. They have recently straddled the divide, surprising Americana and Blues audiences, and all the genres in between, with their eclectic self-penned songs.  All delivered in glorious 3-part harmony!

 

The Lost Notes' 3rd album "GOOD LUCK SHOES" features ten new songs spotlighting tales of the wary, the hopeful, the loved and the lovable; the wild and the lost, the unhinged and the crossed.  The fixed up, the torn down, the hoe-downs and throw downs, topped by the musings of a deliriously optimistic psychopath with a death wish.

​

It's been a busy time for us. 18 months ago the band were joined by Steve Vantsis on bass, broadening the mix of musical influences that bit further. Ben Mills brings a long history and love of Americana/Soul; Oli Jobes, rooted in traditional folk; Maxim Tomlinson, jazz conservatoire pedigree; Steve Vantsis: 30 years touring and recording predominantly prog-rock and Lucy Mills, sultry jazz and the band's pictorial artist. Throw it all together and you get “The Lost Notes” sound, with songs that remain steeped in the Americana, Folk, Country tradition but with a unique style and edge. Holding it all together is the core acoustic instrumentation and uplifting three part harmonies. We hope you enjoy it!

"West Coast Americana Straight Outta the English Midlands... Their versatility, dynamics, proficiency and energy is clear... their joyfully melancholic folkie Americana sound... fits in amongst peers like the aforementioned Mapache, Fleet Foxes, The Nude Party and older soulmates like Fairport Convention, Beechwood Sparks and the aforementioned Crosby Stills Nash and Young." Rocking Magpie
