CHECK OUT THE FRIDAY NIGHT GIG GUIDE

This guy was born to write songs that you'd want to hear on your car stereo as you hit the road.
With over 20 years experience playing in and fronting bands- from the late'70's London pub scene, to a diverse range of bands in Sydney from the mid '80's, Mark's musical journey has taken him from early country influences, through blues, folk rock,'80's pop and back to a unique blend of all.
Melding a rich but natural mix of folk, country and blues roots with a sharp pop sensibility honed by more than a decade's experience on the local live circuit, Mark spins us stories of ordinary people and the world we inhabit expressed with a realism tempered by a dry wit.

“Mark Lucas remains one of the country’s most interesting and literate songwriters, and his band exemplifies the hard edged inner western honky tonk that … always goes over well in Tamworth.” Ken Date- krdcountry.com 2008 Tamworth Festival Report
