Lucas Ward (The Silver Snails)
Thursday, 18 December, 2025
Today’s guest is a true family man. Or is it family band? You know what? It’s both. Please welcome Lucas Ward of The Silver Snails to the show. He take a moment from traveling with his family to talk to me about his unusual musical path. It definitely hasn’t been straightforward. But it’s been incredibly fruitful. He discusses growing up and being friends with Elliot Smith, back when he was known and Steven. He talks about the album that flipped the musical switch in his mind. We also talk about mistaken credits, the vulnerability of singing, and starting The Silver Snails after moving to Italy with his family. After writing, recording, and releasing a “kitchen sink” debut album, there was a gap of over ten years until the sophomore release. He Lucas also talks about the unusual way the band got their name.
