    There are seemingly thousands of songs released every week. A deluge of content. Pop music trends come and go. Fickle, transient, of the moment. Fads can evaporate in an instant. But, amidst that storm of content, you never know when you may come upon a new discovery. Presenting "Mid Tempo Crisis", a new collection of songs from Betsy Lucas. You may not have heard of her yet, but she has put together an album full of sweet melodies, heartfelt lyrics, and her own unique vocal and guitar delivery, soaked in the best of classic pop songwriting. 12 new tracks are available on a new CD with full color booklet including lyrics, all on an object you can hold in your hands! If you enjoy timeless songwriting, you need to check out this new release. She is joined by her brother Martin, who collaborated on production and instruments, along with some special guests helping out. Now, a little back-story. Betsy has been playing music her whole life, in a myriad of scenarios, under the radar of most audiences. But, her acclaimed first album released several years ago "Delivery Girl", is still enjoyed by a loyal fan base of pop connoisseurs. Like many a struggling artist, she has remained relatively unknown. When she made the new record, it was in the hope of spreading the word and giving people the opportunity to discover her songs. Finding like minds who will appreciate her special brand of timeless tunes is the mission. This is a "Crisis" you can actually enjoy!

about

About the Artist:

Betsy Lucas is a Michigan based songwriter and singer who has a history as deep and rich as the songs this album presents. She comes from a musical family, in this case one in which both parents were Barbershop Quartet Champions. Inspired early on by songwriting greats like the Beatles, Laura Nyro, XTC, Prefab Sprout, among many others, Betsy honed her songwriting chops and forged her own style. Betsy soon set off on her own path playing solo and gigging with bands and was a featured artist on local Upper Michigan radio as early as the age of fifteen. This lead to a stint in Nashville being produced by legendary session man Fred Carter, Jr. After re-locating with her band "Lucas" to the San Francisco Bay Area, she played extensively in acoustic & rock clubs with many other notable musicians. She has spent the last few years recording and now emerges from the studio with this strong independent release.
