'Bag of Bones' is a five song release by Erik Stucky that combines great song writing, skilful arrangements, all underpinned by accomplished backing musicians. It challenges tradition and delivers an fresh take on the Americana genre.
Raised in Colorado, mandolin prodigy Erik Stucky moved to Nashville following his 2017 debut, ‘Stray Clouds’. Now boasting a sophomore album ‘Good Vibrations’, he balances his solo career with roles as an in-demand Music City session musician and touring accompanist.
Across the release, Stucky mixes themes of escapism, ‘Night Train’, realism, ‘Because You’re Right’ and vivid story telling, ‘Bag of Bones’.
Musically the arrangements are a sonic treat. Stucky’s vocal empathically guides the listener through the emotional soundscapes with the backing musicians quietly adding gravity to the lyrics.
While ‘Bag of Bones’ doesn’t offer any answers, it does illuminate and inspire.
