More about Made in LA

Incubated in the dreamy sunscape of Southern California, Lucky Diaz and the Family Jam Band deliver their most energetic and eclectic album yet. Made in LA, due out on July 21, features a who's who of the family music scene in Los Angeles, including Genevieve Goings (Choo Choo Soul), Mike Phirman (SiriusXM), Todd McHatton, Andrew & Polly and Mista Cookie Jar. Made in LA was produced mostly in Los Angeles with scintillating sonic help from Grammy nominee Frances England and Grammy winning producer and multi-instrumentalist Dean Jones.

The sights, sounds and tastes of the city run throughout these 12 original songs, from "Silver Lake Stairs" to "Echo Park" and "Fiesta de la Brea." The dreamy optimism of "Magic Believers" gives way to the humorous reality of rush-hour themed "Traffic," and "When It Rained" will resonate with any listener who's experienced the recent torrential weather in So Cal. The bilingual single "Paletero Man" recently debuted on SiriusXM radio. Stream the song here: https://soundcloud.com/luckydiaz.
