Why We Went West, Austin Britton & Lucas Yatch at Zootown Arts Community Center

Doors at 7:00 pm

Lucas Ray Yatch is an American singer-songwriter from northern Montana. Mixing honest and heartfelt lyrics with bluesy guitar riffs. Playing as a one-man band, Lucas transcends the traditional singer songwriter with a driving lush sound.

Austin Britton writes whatever kind of song he wants, whenever he wants to. This freedom has had very limited success in traditional industry metrics, but creatively it is right where Austin wants to be. No record label or persona to keep up with. It is all about a good song, which can sound all kinds of ways, and Austin has been committed to this openness with the craft since he began writing songs over 20 years ago. He’s inspired by inspiration and you can anticipate hearing songs you haven’t heard before and making your own opinions. It’s local music. There is no app for this. Cheers.

Through original compositions, improvisational sonic landscapes, and intimate storytelling, Why We Went West traces the internal and external landscapes we traverse in search of home, healing, and meaning. Inspired by the cycles of nature and the resilience of the human spirit, this work honors both the grief of what is left behind while compelling us forward. Together, we brave the realities faced amidst great change and challenge. Why We Went West journeys with us, rooted in the power of a love-led existence and shared emotional resonance.
