Texas native and Costa Rica based singer/songwriter Rusty Lewis is set to release his debut album Postcards From the Third World on June 28th on acclaimed indie label Hyena Records.
Rusty's life changed in an instant while learning to surf in Costa Rica. One moment -- catching the perfect wave -- was all it took. Rusty, a former Fortune 100 company executive, inventor, author and groundbreaking technologist, traded in the "American Dream" for a simpler life in the jungles and surf of Central America. He picked up a guitar for the first time in years and started crafting thoughtful, soul-searching songs. The music on Postcards From the Third World is perhaps what you'd expect from a Texan living in Costa Rica -- one part American pop, one part Latin groove, with a dash of jazz thrown in for good measure. Rusty Lewis makes the music he's always wanted to hear on the radio -- a kind of Paul Simon meets Steely Dan concoction. And the recipe works. The tunes conjure up images of sunny beaches and perfect waves. It will make you want to leave your Nine-to-Five and do just what Rusty did -- grab a board and chase the surf.
