Wisconsin musician Ross Lucas sent us a new track, “All Day Longing,” as an ode to his wife.
“It’s sort of poem that I wrote for my wife. During many tedious days at work, I would ruminate about how much I missed her and wished to be with her,” he says.
“In time, I was able to form these sentiments into the lines of a song. Some occasions and some emotions call for just such shameless romanticism.”
Based in the small town of Elk Mound, Wisconsin, Lucas’ new album, Endless Winter, is set for release this coming Halloween day.
We were first introduced to Lucas’s music back in 2020 with his touching single, “Under The Sun.” Lucas is a forklift operator by day, and musician and composer by night.

He says that he failed music in his freshman year of high school and promptly left school to start his first band Wussbudget. Lucas never looked back, opening for bands like Tenement, Arms Aloft, and Savage Unicorn.
He moved to the U.K. following the break up of the band. During his two-year sojourn, Lucas wrote a flurry of new songs while managing to “get kicked out of a couple different bands for failing to sound like either John Squire or Tom DeLonge.”
He plays, records, mixes, and masters his tracks laying down all of the work on guitar, bass, drums, and vocals.
