Lucas Haneman Express - Catch The Westbound (2019)

Hot on the heels of their 2018 Maple Blues Award nomination for New Artist of the Year, their new album highlights Lucas Haneman's engaging vocal delivery and prowess as a guitarist, Megan Laurence's angelic and captivating vocals alongside the talented grooves of the rhythm section of drummer Jeff Asselin and bassist Martin Newman. With a mix of lively, rock ‘n roll grooves, subtle, haunting melodies and vocals, hints of early Stax and Motown records, and excellent mature songwriting.

"Catch The Westbound”, is The Express's 3rd full length studio album. In addition to being mixed by Toronto based Brian Moncarz (who has produced work for Juno and Grammy award winning artists such as "Our Lady Peace", "The Trews", "Ian Moore", "The Tea Party", and many more), the album was also mastered by Ottawa based Philip Shaw Bova (who was nominated for a 2019 Grammy Award). "Catch The Westbound" features 10 robust original tracks by Haneman and the band that sound like they were made for radio. This is blues brought to the year 2019 (featuring both Haneman and Megan Laurence on lead vocals), blues that defies genre and welcomes any lover of music along for the ride!
