Hi, i'm Lucas Oswald!



I am a musician, producer, audio engineer, mixing engineer, podcast editor, and production consultant.

You can hire me to produce, record, mix, and/or master your music. I play instruments (guitar, keyboards, drums, bass, hammered dulcimer, etc.) for musical and commercial projects of all kinds. I have done work for labels, networks, and orgs like Sub Pop, Saddle Creek, Jagjaguwar, Starz, NPR, Pitchfork, WNET, The Sundance Channel, and The A.V. Club.

You can also hire me to consult on, produce and/or edit your podcast. Visit Heavybit to see the work I've done as the podcast network manager there since 2015, editing and overseeing production of over 500 podcast episodes across 20+ original shows.

I used to tour around planet Earth full-time as a member of projects like Shearwater, Jesca Hoop, and The Appleseed Cast, headlining and supporting acts like Dinosaur Jr., St. Vincent, and Sharon Van Etten. Now I live in Columbia, Missouri with my wife and kids.

You can find me on Twitter, Instagram, Bandcamp, YouTube.
