Hi, my name is Brian Lucas and I play atmospheric, experimental music with bluesy overtones. I stopped playing guitar in my early teens and never picked one up again until a couple of years ago. Now all this music that has been bottled up in my head over the last three decades is slowly starting to come out.

I love the Blues and basically anything to do with guitars. My favorite guitarists are David Gilmour for his unimaginable phrasing and double bends, BB King for his sweet vibrato, Robin Trower for his soulful tone and Stevie Ray Vaughan for the raw energy and emotion he poured into every note he played.

I also enjoy many other genres of music. I grew up listening to everything from Bluegrass, Jazz, Funk, Rock and of course the Blues. My own music is a combination of those many different styles and influences and is from the heart in hopes of creating a peaceful and atmospheric experience. I just try to play soulfully with all the emotion and feeling that I can draw upon and hopefully that is conveyed to the listener.

I would like to thank everyone for taking the time to visit and I hope you enjoy listening.

Coconut Blues Club: I just wanted to extend an invitation to a really hip virtual blues venue at SoundClick called “Coconut Blues Club”. The site is run by a wonderful blues lover from the UK, Jude Law. Please stop over and check out the fantastic job she is doing of spotlighting new artists as well as current collabs from some of the veteran SC members. There are several venues so be sure to check them all out or just stop by to enjoy the tunes playing on the jukebox. Either way I promise you won't be dissapointed.

Guitar World March 2008 issue: I got my March issue of Guitar World in the mail yesterday. As usual I can't wait to read every article and lesson so I headed for the house to relax and tear into it.

As I started flipping through it I about fell off my chair when I saw my picture on page 28 in the Defenders Of The Faith section.

I had submitted it so long ago that I had given up on it ever making it to print. No one from Guitar World confirmed that I was being selected so I was quite surprised when I saw my pic.
