Duck Jam in the Park: Handmade Moments

Duck Jam in the Park: Handmade Moments
One Way Traffic opening at 6:00 PM.

Handmade Moments - Ornate instrumentation details the bedrock of their simple yet sophisticated songcraft, and endearing, intoxicating personality. Handmade Moments’ piercing lyricism and carousing croon both tell their own inspirational tale, and encompass larger themes that resonate within us all. This musical document unveils a myriad of tones, from walking upright bass to silky saxophone; it embodies an intelligent, progressive culture and celebrates a simple way of life.  “Fighting a Mountain” imagines a friend stranded in raging waters, but you are unable to help, restrained by physical barriers. The title track envisions a post-apocalyptic world with desert farms, a pointed statement against input-reliant agriculture and rallying cry to restore the ecosystem. “Junkie” is not your typical lover’s lament, and uses muse and real life metaphor to emphasize emotions that know no bounds, until they are no more. Paw Paw Tree is filled with lyrical life lessons, statements on the state the union, and examinations of those fragile, human elements that define each and every one of us.

One Way Traffic is a St. Louis-based band with an eclectic sound fueled by bluegrass, Americana, folk and blues. The band is driven by musicians Leah Osborne (vocals/baritone ukulele/washboard), Drew Lance (percussion/vocals), Erik Ferguson (bass), Sam Avery (guitar/vocals) and Sam Aubuchon (mandolin).

One Way Traffic has picked up speed quickly and forcefully. Shortly after releasing their debut album, Turn Right, in July 2019, the band competed in and won the 2019 Northwest String Summit Band Competition.

All members are songwriters aiming to keep it fresh and share their experiences with listeners through a unique approach and an honest delivery. One Way Traffic is made up of seasoned musicians that are hungry, young, and genuinely enjoy working together -- and it shows in live performances. What gives the band an undeniable edge is their outlook on making music: they strive to connect.
