Sounds Like"Austin has just given birth to yet another one of those spunky Roots bands that's as hard to pigeon hole as it's predecessors. Blessed with some very talented youngsters and some heavy Bluegrass, Old Timey, Blues and Texas Swing influences, these folks have put together a terrific CD called "Middle of the Morning". Featuring twelve original tunes ranging from the somewhat Bluesy/Bluegrassy Gospel "Bible Down" to the haunting "Valley Forge" featuring some very soulful piano and Talia's beautiful vocals. A talented group that'll set your Americana hearts on fire! Catch 'em live around the Central Texas area." -Keith Davis, Host of Strictly Bluegrass on KOOP Radio 91.7FM "The latest wrinkle in the Austin area Hill Country bluegrass scene nail their debut with the spirit of the high, lonesome sound, with sweetly pine-scented songs and a loose-limbed musicality that adds up to genuine charm." -Rob Patterson, Texas Music Magazine

   About The Lost Pines
The Lost Pines from Austin, TX, evoke old-timey Americana music with heavy bluegrass, country, and folk influences. Singer-songwriter and banjo picker Christian Ward from Asheville, NC had already built up an arsenal of Appalachian-inspired tunes when he met fellow singer-songwriter Talia Sekons in the backyard picking circles of South Austin in 2007. Talia’s golden harmonies and rhythm guitar proved to be the perfect complement to Christian’s songs, and The Lost Pines began to take shape. When Marc Lionetti showed up for rehearsal one night to throw down some blazing David Rawlings-style guitar solos, it was a Craigslist dream come true. As a formal choral director, Marc quickly added the necessary third harmony part, as well as his expertise in vocal arranging. After a year of busking and barbecue performances, Christian, Talia, and Marc honed their family-band sound and arranged enough original tunes to record their debut album, “Middle Of The Morning” (released in April 2008, available on CDBaby, Amazon, and iTunes). Soon thereafter, they were joined by Shawn Dean on fiddle and Brian Durkin (Flatcar Rattlers) on upright bass. The Lost Pines have appeared on KGSR 107.1FM's Morning show with Bryan Beck, as well as on KUT 90.5FM's Folkways show with Kevin Conner. Tracks from “Middle Of The Morning” are currently in rotation on these two stations, as well as on KOOP 91.7FM's Strictly Bluegrass show. The Lost Pines have also been chosen to represent Texas at the annual American Society of Association Executives this August in San Diego, and they will be appearing at the Austin Friends of Traditional Music’s mid-winter festival this October. They play regularly at Momo’s and the original Threadgill’s, as well as other venues and private parties around Austin.

And Talia, you saved my ass with that two dollars, ladyfriend. I had just barely enough to pay the $28 for parking (I had to dig for about ten minutes for 30 or so pennies though. LOL, everything seems funny in hindsight. :-)
