Album Notes

Formed in 1998, Lucky Town's success has been nothing short of meteoric.
The four-piece band from Virginia Beach, VA heard their track "Simple" spun
over 1200 times by WKOC-FM and WPTE-FM, sold nearly 10,000 copies
of their independent releases, and had two of their songs featured on MTV's
"Road Rules". They played nearly 200 dates last year and have shared the
stage with Sixpence None the Richer, The Bodeans, Fastball, Fuel and
Patti Griffin.

The band is led by the mellifluous vocal stylings of Courtney Criswell, the
twenty-four year-old singer whose stage presence and soaring voice packs
rooms from South Carolina to Maine. Bob McNaughton, the bass player and
primary songwriter, crafts radio-proven pop songs that are both infectious and
thoughtful. Guitarist Wendell Johnson pours his fiery love for melodic indie
rock into the mix, giving the music an undeniable urgency without ever
forgetting the importance of the hook. Kevin Kriner, drums, holds the whole
thing together, acting as the rock-solid foundation of Lucky Town. Together,
they produce a sound that Hits Magazine described as "happy, folky, poppy
standouts that are both simple and inspirational."

Radio has already responded to Lucky Town in an unprecedented manner.
WKOC and WPTE, the two largest modern rock stations in Virginia, not
only spun "Simple" more than 1200 times (as many as 35 spw!), but also
added a second single, "Fear", in February of 2000. Lucky Town is the first
unsigned artist ever to be added to either station's playlist. Music Director
Kristen Coot of WKOC-FM said that DJs at the station unanimously liked the
song. "We all agreed that it was worth playing whether they were signed or
not."

Lucky Town is continuing to build their rather impressive story. They are
currently booking regional and national dates, recording with producer Mitch
Easter (REM, Marshall Crenshaw, Dinosaur Jr.), growing their fan base,
and gaining the attention of the media. For more information, check out
