โI donโt know if you believe in this crap,โ says singer/songwriter lund, who recently had her tarot read. โBut I drew the Hermit card, representing exploration and personal growth. Heโs shining a light: Come on out of the shadows!โ After a decade in the music business on the management and booking sides, the classically trained singer has finally moved toward the light. โIt was time.โ
lundโs debut album โRight This Time,โ was recorded with producer Tyler โThe Falconโ Greenwell (Tedeschi Trucks Band) at Echo Mountain Studios and Sedgwick Studios in her adoptive hometown of Asheville, NC. The album features original songs honed over her decades-long stint in New York City as a working musician, promoter and manager. Written in collaboration with local guitarist and songwriter Brandon Townsend โ and additional contributions from guitarist Paul Olsen (Scrapomatic, Susan Tedeschi, Kristina Train) โ lundโs soulful brand of Americana runs the gamut from punchy blues to plaintive weepers. Her band is a reflection of her eclectic tastes: Dave Yoke on guitar (Dr. John, Susan Tedeschi), Brandon Boone on bass (Tedeschi Trucks Band, Col. Bruce Hampton) and New Orleanian Isaac Eady (Tedeschi Trucks Band, Rhiannon Giddens) on drums.
lundโs musical journey actually started with a Music Industries Studies degree โ with a concentration in vocal performance โ from Appalachian State University. Suffice to say, she โknows her shit.โ โMy voice professor was an opera singer,โ says lund with a grin. โI sang every spiritual I could to avoid opera.โ Her passion and training are evident on the Nina Simone-derived psych-soul of โDonโt You Leave Me,โ the grungy swirl of โPaper Tiger,โ and her subtle self-harmonizing on the title track. On this eclectic stroll through American musical styles, lundโs clarion voice is the tie that binds.
In the summer of 2020, with the pandemic on the rise and an albumโs worth of rock solid material in the tank, she realized how she could optimize her quarantine. The tricky dance of socially distanced recording was well worth it. โI always felt like a late bloomer in life,โ she reflects. โBut now I know itโs all about timing.โ
โRight This Time,โ will be released on September 9th, 2022.
