Jeffrey Luck Lucas: Darkly gorgeous, cinematic folk.


Born, raised, and "lowered" in Indiana, West Texas, and Los Angeles respectively, Jeffrely Luck Lucas is known as a "musician's musician" and one of San Francisco's best kept secrets.

In addition to recent dark folk albums such as What We Whisper and Hell Then Divine, Jeffrey Luck Lucas is a classically trained cellist and founding member of 80's garage band The Morlocks (Epitaph, Voxx, Midnight). He's shared bills with Alejandro Escovedo, Jolie Holland, Willard Grant Conspiracy, Ray Manzarek (The Doors), Maria McKee, and Eleni Mandell.

Lucas' longtime recording partner is producer and engineer Desmond Shea (Court & Spark, Neurosis, Dieselhed). Lucas and Shea are known for stellar arrangements and studio craft, and together the two attract a multitude of talent from the Bay Area indie music community including Janice Tanaka (L7, Pink), David Phillips (Tom Waits), Tim Mooney (American Music Club), Wendy Allen (The Court & Spark), and Sean Coleman (Kelley Stoltz, Sunshine Club).

Jeffrey has been featured on Tract Records' Eye of the Beholder compilation with his song "Her Pale Silver Eyes," as well as their Will Oldham tribute on which he covered "Agnes, Queen of Sorrow". His song, "Cascade" was featured on the covermount CD of issue #14 of the British music magazine Comes with a Smile. Another song "Whiteout" is featured on the Italian label Awful Bliss's upcoming "Songs for Another Place" compilation.
