EP215 - So What's Been Happening? - The Smith & Western Jury

Dusty Roads & Lucky Stars: The Smith & Western Jury Live

Episode 215 of So What's Been Happening? features The Smith & Western Jury's Sam Lombardi and Simon Torcasio in a candid live conversation about their festival highlights, new singles (including “Rolling the Dice” and “Lucky Stars”), and the making of their latest album recorded with the full band. The chat revisits Luliepalooza moments, the band’s DIY journey through COVID, and their evolving cinematic, dusty country sound.

Sam Lombardi opens up about health struggles that inspired “Lucky Stars,” while the group discusses recording in Texas and Canada, working with producer Jordan Koop, and keeping performances raw and live. They also share stories about merch, photography, the band name origin, and fan reactions to new material.

Looking ahead, the band teases a spring single, an upcoming tour across Australia, a sold‑out Melbourne show, and plans to release the full album later in the year — promising more live, emotive performances to come.
