Brick Briscoe
(Release) Petersburg, Indiana-based musician, radio and television personality Brick Briscoe recorded his upcoming release From Lucky Point to Père Lachaise after a life changing battle with cancer and the life affirming travels suggested by album’s title.
The album, which was released on July 16, is intended (and should be listened to) as a continuous piece as its eleven tracks are linked thematically.

Briscoe was unsure if he had the energy to make the trip after being treated for cancer for over a year but returned to the states with a renewed vigor. He wrote about the journey of his life, but in reverse, taking inspiration from the Godard quote “A story should have a beginning, a middle, and an end...but not necessarily in that order.”
The album focuses on the romance and angst of life’s journey and is sprinkled with Midwestern pragmatism and a liberal dose of observations from his travels; from Petersburg, Indiana (Lucky Point) to Chicago, Boston, New York, Paris, Bordeaux and back. In the end, Briscoe realized that he likes the persona that he has become and embraces the struggle inherent to the process of writing and being a human in 2019.
