From a lost corner of New Mexico many years ago songwriter Ben Todd began releasing cassettes under the name Lonesome Shack. Ben continued to record and perform as he migrated around the Southwest of America and eventually settled in Seattle, WA where he teamed up with drummer Kristian Garrard finding an instant chemistry. The duo toured the country and played regular gigs at the local watering hole, Cafe Racer, where they enticed bassist Luke Bergman to join the band.
