Native to Houston, TX, Lively began songwriting in the late 2000’s with a focus on lyricism and melody underpinned by euphonic chording and a blend of folk/Americana-inspired rhythms and instrumentation. He has release 4 compilations to date, including his most recent full-length album, Where We Are Right Now. As a whole, Lively’s work is a collection of soulful, twangy, and sometimes haunting stories that each contain a magnetism that leaves you wanting more. The songs bespeak a songwriter unafraid of charting new terrain and interweaving a vast and ever-evolving range of influences in the process. Whether solo or with his band, Lively’s hypnotic and dynamic performance style can both introspectively calm you and energetically tug at your heart. If it doesn’t, the songs will at least be stuck in your head.
