    Michael Lesousky’s upcoming release of his first solo EP, “Deep Shade of Blue”, showcases the singer-songwriter style he has made for himself that ebbs and flows with distinct sounds of country, blues, and folk. The 7-track EP is an independent release that, according to Lesousky, aims to “move the listener to a steeper depth of emotion whether it’s joy or sadness-- or something in between.”

    More than just a beginning display of Lesousky’s musical identity, the record tells a distinct story of Michael moving to Athens, GA to be with his love and the array of emotions that came along with discovering himself as an artist and individual on the way. The simplicity of the record, which only contains guitar and vocals, allows for vulnerability and brutal honesty in the form of enchanting, haunting songs that still hold lingering hope. As Lesousky says about, “Deep Shade of Blue”; “It’s a journey into hope and out of despair.”

lyrics

Everyday I walk around this town
looking for something to hold onto
It's like the sirens have gone and let me down
leaving me with a head full of issues

there are people who won't look me in the eye
I do my dance they don't blink as they walk by
Here I stand on the corner of Broad
I'll stay here lost and alone in my thoughts

//CHORUS//
Here I am
take me where you want


There's no light down where I've gone
I'm the only flicker
I hope the wind doesn't blow me out
and leave me dead, blackened like a wicker

Cause it's all I've got
in this land full of desolation
Is Canaan somewhere in my dreams or
just beyond the corner of this lonely street?

//CHORUS//

Down to the river
Where it shines like the sun
Out to the Ocean
Where all the rivers run
Down to the Core
where the spirit meets the bone
Up to the heavens
to my eternal home

//CHORUS//
