About:

   A world class guitar hero, a Grammy-nominated songwriter and composer, an international recording artist with over 30 acclaimed solo albums to date, and a soundtrack composer for film and television, GARY LUCAS is on the move in 2017. He has recorded over 30 acclaimed albums in a variety of genres—jazz, rock, classical, folk, blues and world music—and has performed in over 40 countries to date. He has received many honors and awards—including being invited to perform solo before the General Assembly of the UN on January 27th 2017 to commemorate International Holocaust Remembrance Day. He was also recently profiled on National Public Radio (NPR).

   Dubbed “The Thinking Man’s Guitar Hero” by The New Yorker, “The world’s most popular avant-rock guitarist” by The Independent (UK), “One of the 100 Greatest Living Guitarists” (Classic Rock), “Legendary Leftfield guitarist” by The Guardian (UK), “Guitarist of 1000 Ideas” by The New York Times, “a true axe God” by Melody Maker, and “One of the five best guitarists in the world” by the national Czech newspaper Lidove Noviny; the British world music magazine fRoots recently described Gary Lucas as “without question, the most innovative and challenging guitarist playing today.” Rolling Stone’s David Fricke wrote: “Gary Lucas is one of the best and most original guitarists in America...a modern guitar miracle.” Best-selling author/producer Dan Levitin (“This Is Your Brain On Music”) recently cited Gary as “the greatest living electric guitarist”. Gary was also dubbed “one of the world’s greatest guitar players” by HITS Magazine. Pete Frame, music journalist, founder/editor of legendary UK music magazine ZigZag, and author/creator of 5 volumes of “Rock Family Trees” said of Gary, “Can there be another musician as adventurous, ingenious, accomplished, diverse, intrepid, hard-working and well-travelled as Gary Lucas?”

   2016 was Gary’s best year ever—and 2017 is looking even better yet, with new Gary Lucas album releases including a superb lost Gods and Monsters live album “Find It, Amigo: The Great Lost Gods and Monsters Live Album” on OPM/Dot Time; “The World of Captain Beefheart featuring Gary Lucas and Nona Hendryx” (Knitting Factory Records); “Gary and Toni Go Nutz!” (Rare Lumiere and OkayMusic), a duo album recorded in Budapest with songs and free improvisation from Gary’s Pearly Clouds saxophonist partner; “Cool Hand Luke”, a new Gary Lucas solo acoustic album recorded in Prague and featuring original compositions and Gary’s arrangements of Duke Ellington, Leos Janacek, Elmer Bernstein, and the Rolling Stones; and “I Have a Cat” (OkayMusic), the last lengthy interview with Captain Beefheart conducted by Co de Kloet and set to music by Gary. On the live front, Gary started the year with three NYC based shows, including a high profile appearance performing solo before the UN General Assembly Fri. January 27th as part of their Holocaust Remembrance Day celebrations; the premiere of his new live film score accompanying Orson Welles’ silent 1938 surrealist classic “Too Much Johnson” at Roulette Brooklyn; a solo appearance on Valentine’s Day Feb. 14th at the Music Hall of Williamsburg as part of a Benefit for Planned Parenthood of NYC; and an upcoming spring European tour with Italian vocalist/collaborator Alessio Franchini as part of Alessio’s “A Touch of Grace” Tribute to Jeff Buckley. Gary also just produced a new album up in Oxford England in early Feb. 2017 by UK singer/songwriter Ed Laurie, whose previous work received much airplay in the US on NPR.

   2016 saw the release of 3 acclaimed Gary Lucas albums: “Gary Lucas’ FLEISCHEREI: Music from Max Fleischer Cartoons” (Cuneiform)—a mixture of Tin Pan Alley, swing and Harlem jungle jazz drawn from the soundtracks of Max Fleischer’s early 30’s Betty Boop and Popeye Cartoons and featuring Joe Fiedler, Jeff Lederer, Rob Garacia, Michael Bates, and Sarah Stiles. The album was just picked as “One of the Best Albums of 2016” by DownBeat Magazine, and cited as “One of the Best Indie Albums of 2016” by Goldmine Magazine. In 2016 Gary Lucas’ FLEISCHEREI performed at the Museum of the Moving Image in Queens; the Washington DC Jewish Film Festival at the AFI Silver Theater MD; the Porgy and Bess Jazz Club in Wien; the Boston Jewish Film Festival; at the City Winery NYC and City Winery Chicago seders; and at the City Winery NYC klezmer brunch.

   2016 also saw the release of Gary Lucas’ PEARLY CLOUDS album (Trapeze), based on traditional Hungarian folk music, featuring saxophonist Toni Dezso and vocalist Eniko Szabo. The album received spectacular reviews including “A record of spiritual longing and timeless musical transcendence” (fROOTS), and “Unusual and compelling listening” (BBC 3).

   2016 began with the release of Gary Lucas and Jann Klose’s acoustic folk pop album STEREOPTICON (Cosmic Trigger) which received “4 Stars” in MOJO. No Depression wrote: “The harmonies, vocal interactions, and clear precise acoustic guitar provide the listener with enchanting listening.”

   Other Gary Lucas 2016 highlights included the US premiere of his live solo film score accompanying Luis Bunuel’s “The Exterminating Angel” (1962) at Pioneer Works in Red Hook Brooklyn 3/18/16, reviewed by jazz critic Jim Macnie; the Brooklyn premiere of his live solo film score accompanying Wu Yonggang’s 1934 Chinese silent film “The Goddess” at Pioneer Works Red Hook Brooklyn 7/8/16 reviewed by Richard Porton (Cineaste) and Glenn Kenny (NY Times); closing the Jewish Museum of Vienna’s “Stars of David” exhibition devoted to Jewish musicians with a solo acoustic concert 10/1/16; headlining the Pisa Internet Festival in Italy with a solo acoustic concert at Teatro Lumiere 10/6/16; performing a solo concert at the Gaia Arts Center Havana Cuba with special guest vocalist Danae Villanueva Blanco 5/18/16; giving a Guitar Masterclass and seminar on the craft of songwriting at the Amsterdam Musik Conservatorium 12/7-12/8/2016; giving a Guitar Masterclass and a solo concert for disadvantaged children at the Biblioteca Benjamin Franklin in Mexico City by invitation of the US Embassy Mexico 11/9/16; performing a solo concert plus a reunion with musicians from the Czech underground (Plastic People of the Universe, DG 307 and Urfaust) at Blues Bahnhof Prague 12/10/16; performing a 30’s Chinese pop tribute with longtime collaborator Sally Kwok at the Peace Hotel Shanghai for the 30th anniversary of Sally Kwok and Andrew Bull 11/3/16; performing at the “Hendrix in Harlem” Tribute at the Apollo Theater with Fishbone, Nona Hendryx, Ernie Isley and others 11/26/16; and Gary Lucas and Jeff Buckley’s version of Bob Dylan’s “Farewell Angelina” featured on the soundtrack of Cameron Crowe’s Showtime series “Roadies” 7/3/16.

   2015 was also one of Lucas’ best years ever—finishing with a bang in Mexico City Dec. 8th where Lucas performed for the second year in a row by invitation of the U.S. Embassy at the Biblioteca Benjamin Franklin, as part of their Music Outreach Program for disadvantaged children. Earlier this year, Gary performed a similar concert for disadvantaged children in Sotogrande Spain.

   Gary’s appearance in Mexico City was directly on the heels of his 4 nights as Artist in Residence at Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Hall in Liverpool England, where Lucas performed 6 different solo projects, including his new Jeff Buckley Symposium and his live solo guitar score accompanying the 1931 horror classic “Frankenstein”.

   Gary made three separate solo tours of Italy in 2015 through the auspices of Luca Zannotti and Musiche Metropolitane, where his profile continues to rise.

   These included a marathon 2 1/2 hour acoustic solo concert in Venice in December, an appearance at legendary Italian singer/songwriter Vinicio Caposella’s “Moon in June Festival” in Umbria on his birthday June 20th, and multiple performances in Bologna, Milan, Asti, Livorno, Milano and other cities with his friend Italian singer/songwriter Alessio Franchini—including Alessio’s “Touch of Grace” Tribute to Jeff Buckley at the Teatro della Luna in Milano in March. There was much attendant Italian media exposure, including La Stampa TV, Italian national newspaper La Republicca, and a televised performance with many noted Italian artists on the famous Italian music program “Red Ronnie Live at the Roxy Bar”.

   Lucas also received two major awards in Italy this year—a Lifetime Achievement Award presented to him in December at the Premio Ciampi Festival in Tuscany, named for legendary Italian songwriter Piero Ciampi. In March, Gary received the U.S. Consul General’s Award for Cultural Diplomacy at a private party in his honor held in Milan at the residence of U.S. Consul General Philip T. Reeker, with invited guests including the editor of Italian Rolling Stone.

   Other 2015 highlights included Gary leading his longtime supergroup Gods and Monsters as Music Director of “A State of Grace”, a multi-artist tribute to both Tim and Jeff Buckley Down Under, which saw Gary perform with singer/songwriter Martha Wainwright, Steve Kilbey (The Church), and other vocalists before 6000 people over 6 nights in large theaters and arts centers in Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra and at the Brisbane Festival.    

   2014 began with a bang with the successful world premiere Jan. 8th of Lucas’s new live score for Shanghai silent film classic “The Goddess” at Fundacion Botin in Santander Spain, followed by a performance there with Gary’s Spanish “Dracula” project Jan. 10th. Gary’s new duo collaboration with UK vocalist Peter Hammill (Van Der Graaf Generator) entitled “Otherworld” was released Feb. 3rd on Esoteric/Cherry Red Records, followed by their live debut Fri. Feb. 21st at London’s Union Chapel. The album went on to receive 4 and 5 star reviews internationally, and landed the pair on the cover of both Guitar Player Magazine and Rock Society Magazine. The duo headlined the Gouveia Art Rock Festival in Portugal in May and packed the Teatro de la Ciudad Esperanza Iris in Mexico City in November, which was selected one of the year’s best concerts by Gastv.mx, and was taped for national public television of Mexico. While there, Gary was invited to play a free solo concert for disadvantaged children at the Benjamin Franklin Library by US Ambassador to Mexico Earl Anthony Wayne, who wrote Gary a personal letter of appreciation for taking part in the Ambassador’s Music Outreach program.

   In February, Gary recorded a new album in Budapest with Hungarian jazz-rock ensemble DeBORT, led by saxophonist Toni Deszo, and was interviewed by Rockbook Hungary. Their album is scheduled for release later this year. Later that month Gary journeyed to Columbus Ohio to perform his live score for Jose Mojica Marins’ 1967 Brazilian cult classic “This Night I Will Possess Your Corpse”, one of his many live music and film projects. In addition to “The Goddess”, which received much praise from Film Society of Lincoln Center Director Emeritus Richard Pena, Lucas premiered two new live film scores, accompanying the legendary 1931 James Whale-directed “Frankenstein” on Halloween at the United Palace Theater in Harlem NY with his original music, and premiering his new score for Dreyer’s classic 1931 “Vampyr” the following day Nov. 1st (Day of the Dead) at the AFI Silver Theatre in Silver Spring Maryland, where he also performed his score for Spanish “Dracula”. AFI programming director Todd Hitchcock especially praised Gary’s new “Vampyr” score. In April Gary presented a well-received masterclass at Rutgers University School of Music in New Jersey for Prof. Chris Opperman’s class. Early May saw the release of Gary and Colleen ’Cosmo’ Murphy’s Wild Rumpus album “Musical Blaze-Up” as a double vinyl disc (which rapidly sold-out its pressing), and as a digital download. The pair released several 12 inch vinyl singles over the last few years to wide acclaim, and made live appearances in NYC, London, Brussels, Romania, and Hyderabad India. Their release was greeted by raves in the press, including a feature in the UK’s prestigious DJ Magazine. In June Gary celebrated the 25th anniversary of his longtime NYC-based avant-supergroup Gods and Monsters with a special concert at Le Poisson Rouge in Manhattan, which featured guest vocalists Jann Klose (who he has been collaborating on songs with), Felice Rosser, Gisburg, and Dusty Wright, and touched on music spanning Gary’s entire career. In July Gary sat in as a special guest with Mongolian/Buryat vocalist/world music star Namgar at Barbes in Brooklyn, the start of a promising new collaboration. This August he debuted his new “Fleischerei” project—a tribute to the music of Max Fleischer’s Betty Boop and Popeye cartoons featuring NYC music theater star Sarah Stiles (“Into the Woods”, “Avenue Q”) and trombonist/arranger Joe Fiedler (“Sesame Street”)—at a private party at The Bridge Golf Club in Bridgehampton LI. Gary’s swinging, jazzy ensemble made their public debut in November at BAM Cafe, and they are working on their debut album. Gary also has been working on a new acoustic folk-pop duo project with singer Jann Klose and lyricist Dan Beck entitled Lucas Klose. Their song “Mary Magdalene”, marking the second anniversary of Hurricane Sandy’s devastating impact on the Eastern US seaboard, was featured on CBS News and 1010 WINS News Radio, and they are currently in the studio recording new tracks for their debut album. In addition, Gary recorded a new song last fall with longtime associate Italian vocalist Alessio Franchini in Livorno Italy, and will be performing live in Alessio’s tribute to Jeff Buckley in Milan in March 2015, “A Touch of Grace”. Gary also performed two Classic Album Sundays Tributes to the “Grace” album in Oslo and in Brooklyn, marking the 20th anniversary of the album’s release. And Gary’s book “Touched By Grace: My Time with Jeff Buckley” (Jawbone) was named One of the Best Books of 2014 by HITS magazine editor Roy Trakin in his year-end wrap-up.

   2013 was a year of many triumphs for Gary Lucas. His latest album “Cinefantastique” (Northern Spy)—a collection of some of Gary’s own film music plus his solo arrangements of classic themes from Fellini, Hitchcock, Werner Herzog, Bela Tarr and other greats—was named One of the Top 10 Roots Albums of 2013 by the Philadelphia Citypaper, and was hailed as Guitar Album of the Year by the Gapplegate Guitar and Bass Blog. During 2013, Lucas sold out six shows, three of them with his long-running Spanish “Dracula” project—including high profile appearances at the Jerusalem Film Festival 7/16/13, the Silent Movie Theatre in Hollywood 7/30/13, and at the Cineteca Nacional in Mexico City 11/30/13.
