About Lucas Marks:

Lucas Marks first began writing songs after a silent meditation retreat.

Lyrics and music simply began to flow up from within, in a regular stream.

He honed his craft playing to local audiences in pubs, enjoying playing to people "in the moment".

​

Music for Marks is all about the moment.

The way lyrics flow after barren times,

The way a song first comes into being as an idea,

A voice or a melody.

 

His songs are there to be played, to be thrashed out, to seduce, to provoke, to testify...
