Cactus Lee is the musical project by Austin songwriter Kevin Dehan. You’ll see there the influence of his heroes, Townes, Blaze or Guy Clark plus something more contemporary.
Put on Lamplight, the self-titled debut from singer-songwriter Ian Hatcher-Williams, and you’ll notice a few things. A brushed and skittering 6/8 rhythm. Softly distorted guitar. The languid drawl of a pedal steel as it flirts with demure strings. It’s a room you recognize but can’t quite place. The furnishings are comfortable. 2024 brings the debut of newcomer, Appalachian country-mouse-gone-city-and-back-again, Ian Hatcher-Williams, AKA Lamplight. After a warp-speed five years in New York City trying on the vestments of cumbersome enterprise and often sacrificing personal life, health and identity along the way, Ian returned home to the rolling mountain peaks of southwestern Virginia to undress, stretch out, reconsider. The result is the cathartic return to self, a nine-song earth-caked internal excavation, releasing Spring 2024 on Western Vinyl.
