Artist
The Silver Snails are an independent pop rock music project based in the medieval wine country of Romagna, Italy, with strong ties to the West Coast (USA). Anchored by the husband-and-wife duo of Lucas Ward and Elisa Fantini, their mission is to open human hearts through song.
More than 10 years in the making, The Silver Snails 2nd album, ‘Speed of Light’, seeks to embody the band’s slogan, ‘The world’s finest pop rock for a global audience’. Recorded painstakingly over a decade in Italy and Portland Oregon, and co-produced by Dylan Magierek (Badman Records), Speed of Light is a string of 10 pearls lovingly crafted to uplift, inspire, and open the hearts of listeners.
