LOST RAGAS

LOST RAGAS

Lost Ragas is a band made up of Matt Walker, Shane Reilly, Simon Burke & Roger Bergodaz who were originally formed to perform live shows of Walker’s solo album, In Echoes of Dawn. Since those early days they have evolved into a much more collaborative effort.

“We all have songwriting backgrounds from different projects in the past, so this felt great to be part of a band and exploring a new songwriting process,” says Walker.

When asked what drives the band he says passionately, “We love creating new songs, and do it because it’s just part of us, it’s our voice, it’s as natural as talking. We all feel this is the strongest thing that any of us have been a part of.”

The four-piece’s musical style features rustic vocals accompanied by instruments devoid of electronic elements. On their Phantom Ride Tour Lost Ragas will be accompanied by Raised By Eagles and Jep & Dep to round out the country/blues/Americana bill. (JA)
