Lake Laconic
Lake Laconic has been chipping away at his music in the town of Astoria, OR finding different directions to go while living in a place where foundation can be built. A strange background, playing jazz for over a decade and then heavily going into songwriting and finding his gold there, Lake continues to create music that takes him somewhere new. He's been all over the map doing things like opening for Blind Pilot, playing the Allman Brothers' music with original drummer, Jaimoe, in The Big Band of Brothers, and collaborating with his brother Evan in a band they call Innocent Alex. Lake put his first album out in 2024, Lake Laconic, which Music Millennium called "11 tracks of pop genius" and now releases a new album, Cut the String, that he's been cooking up out by the Columbia River Gorge with Mark Robertson. Lake calls it "9 tracks of trying to piece something together with intention".
