Having toured in 40 countries, released 50 albums and produced over 350 compositions, Lucas doesn’t have much to prove. Musing about his aesthetic goals, Lucas says that he wants to instill in his listeners “an overwhelming sense of wonder and astonishment. I want people to say, ‘I’ve never heard the guitar played that way before’. I want to play something that resonates that is not done according to a formula.” Gary Lucas’ next gig is at Roulette on Oct. 15, when he will be accompanying the work of avant-garde women filmmakers.
