About Lightning Stills
After twenty years of full-throttle drinking, Craig Fort had to straighten out. To help get through the rehab days of sobriety, he created an alter-ego, Lightning Stills, a rhinestone cowboy in the vein of Waylon and Johnny Paycheck. All their hardship tropes, Fort lived through. Once he started writing as Lightning Stills, the songs poured out: part catharsis, part what the hell was that? Heavy stuff, though not without toe-tapping sensibilities.
He recruited longtime bar stool neighbor, Mike Friedman, to collaborate on tracking/producing a debut EP. In the six years since, Lightning Stills has grown into a mixed bag of longtime Omaha players. A bunch of road-tested dust punks, doing whiskey-drenched tunes of fast living that, if they weren’t so hard earned, might sound cliche.
