Press Kit
Who we are:
a boy from the Bronx, a girl from the Virginia mountains, a captivating blend of musical performance tension and reconciliation. Yep they’re married. Years ago Jon put an ad in the Village Voice for a front person. Lucinda answered. Their first band was Ransom with 3 other fellas. Ransom played all the spots original bands play in NYC–but like many others the band broke up but Jon and Lucinda kept together, married, raised a couple of kiddoes, but never stopped creating music together. Ball & Chain is a triumph of creative collaboration and damn good tricky communication.
Line-up
Jon: vocals, lead guitar
Lucinda: vocals, rhythm guitar, mandolin, bass, hand percussion, harmonica
