***Lot 17***, four-track EP by **Kerri Medders** (**April 17, 2017**; ~14 minutes, ℗ Kerri Medders): **Slipping**, **Cry, Cry**, **How Will I Know** (Whitney Houston cover), and [**Don't Give In**](/songs/dont-give-in/). Stream on [Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/album/3fwGJoJhbpeUJvreRlmMpR) · [Apple Music](https://music.apple.com/us/album/lot-17-ep/1221603646). Texas-born singer-songwriter and actress (*SEAL Team*, *Alexa & Katie*); follows earlier ***Etched*** (2015) and the 2016 single **Fall Away** — [ISC 2016 semi-finalist](https://songwritingcompetition.com/semi-finalists.html) listing Kerri Medders, Luke Walton, and Brandon Woodward as songwriters, with [Pop Culturalist](https://pop-culturalist.com/pop-culturalist-chats-with-kerri-medders/) and [Teenplicity](https://teenplicity.com/fall-away-with-kerri-medders/) naming Walton and Woodward as producers who *also double as my band members*. Kerri framed *Lot 17* as a frozen-in-time snapshot of age 17: [Teenplicity](https://teenplicity.com/kerri-medders-talks-lot-17/) on the vulnerable sophomore EP and an '80s-leaning pop/alternative palette across the originals.

**Luke Francis Walton** co-wrote, produced, and played on the **full EP** with **Brandon Woodward** — not a single-track credit. In [Ouch! Magazine](https://ouchmagazine.com/blogs/cover-stories/kerri-medders-rising-stars-x-ouch-magazine), Kerri says every song on *Lot 17* except the cover was **co-written with producers Brandon Woodward and Luke Francis**: Kerri’s **Luke Francis** is **Luke Francis Walton** (formal PRO/credits name). **Cry, Cry** and **Don't Give In** later appear on the [*Do Not Reply*](/songs/dont-give-in/) soundtrack (2019), where **Cry, Cry** credits production to FEiN aka **Luke Walton** and Woodward — same person, shortened in 2017–2019 press, not the NBA coach.

The EP cycle helped launch a **High School Nation** tour where Medders opened for **Plain White T's** and **Drake Bell** in front of 90,000+ (per artist bio). [**Don't Give In**](/songs/dont-give-in/) later appeared on the *Do Not Reply* (2019) film score, where Medders starred.
