A recipient of the "Rising Star – Guitar" award in the Downbeat Critics’ Poll, Lund has earned praise from luminaries like Pat Metheny, who cites him as a favorite, and from Russell Malone, who lauded him as "all music and all soul" when awarding him first prize in the Thelonious Monk International Jazz Competition
