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...
