Album Notes

“The Shamblers have established themselves as a new folk rock phenomenon.”
Glen Starkey, New Times, San Luis Obispo

“A tight (and) extraordinary” band with “great riffs, changes in time signature, and compelling arrangements. Lucas Ohio Pattie is a great storyteller and songwriter -- a dynamic and expressive vocalist.”
Caleb Quaye, Elton John’s first producer and guitarist in Elton John’s Band for over ten years and featured on such classic albums as Elton John (his debut album), Tumbleweed Connection, and Madman Across the Water. Quaye joins the band for two songs on their latest CD Steps Toward Home.

“The Shamblers -- both retro and fresh. Lucas Ohio Pattie’s commanding voice, confident phrasing and poetic lyrics are sure to draw comparisons to Jim Morrison.”
Patrick Pemberton, The Tribune, San Luis Obispo

“Songwriter-vocalist Lucas Ohio Pattie steers this innovative trio through jazzy folk waters not unlike Dave Matthews -- and like Matthews does it with a vocal sense that is both intimate and gritty, and with word play that is clever and arresting.”
Rick Alan Rice, Music Critic and Creator of Rarwriter.com

“Lucas Ohio Pattie -- what a cool gravelly delivery. Reminding me of Jonny Lang, his voice is emotional and conflicted, brimming with passion, maturity, and depth -- a perfect fit for his songwriting.”
Randy Brewer, President, RPM Entertainment
