Since the release of Immortal Americans, Lucas has been traveled the globe, treating eager crowds to his signature gut-punching songwriting style and his captivating stage presence, delivering messages of loss and love, hardship and triumph. Upon relocating back to his hometown of Bloomington, Indiana, Lucas began crafting the songs for Immortal Americans--in them he recounted the stories of his youth, where, as an outsider in a small town, he dodged beer cans hurled by passing drivers. As he once more walked the Bloomington streets, he learned to embrace his own fighting spirit again. The album emerged from that period of self-discovery. "My friends and I had to fight for who we were," he remembers of those early days in the Midwest, "and it was an alienating, anxious, and oftentimes scary way to live. This song is about that fight. It goes out to the most marginalized and at-risk human beings who live in our country, all the people who live on the outside of mainstream society and have to fight every day for their identities and for their existence-because those are the true immortal Americans."
