live-performance
Every episode of The Rugged Revival featuring live-performance — conversations with independent country, Americana, and roots artists.
Michael Jones (Lazarus Lake) - Ford Ranger | Live Stripped Back Performance
Michael Jones is the creator and frontman of the band @lazarus-lake , an Alt-Country outfit from Knoxville. They released their debut record "Family Tree" on 30th May 2025. Their sound is a blend of homespun Southern Rock with the no-frills directness of Americana tradition. Family Tree explores the ties that bind and the ways that they're strained - with an eye to redeem the moments when life falls apart and to keep alive the memory of loved ones lost. This recording was made possible by @lancerogersmusic as part of @FallingFord-m7x partnership with The Rugged Revival. #upcomingmusician #altcountry #kentuckymusic #southernrock #livesession
