Today’s guest is John Lucas - a singer/songwriter living in the mountains of Boone, North Carolina. Our conversation happened just 3 days after the debut of his full length record “The Bible Belt Sessions, Volume 2.” Lucas worked on a song with me in 2020 called “Hold On” and we’ve been friends ever since. He is kind, genuine, and gentle - this conversation sheds light on all of those qualities. We talked about the birth of his new daughter, the emotional toll of fundraising his album, and the importance of endurance in a world obsessed with efficiency. I hope you enjoy this episode of the mellow maniac podcast.
