Mark Lucas

Mark Lucas has been playing the third Saturday of the month at Sappho for some years now and will continue to so do they say “until the end of time”. A familiar face on the Sydney roots scene, Mark’s current release “Magnetic West” (his 14th) is as much a celebration of time passages as anything, with songs reaching back to Mark’s childhood in England, migration to Australia and the musical journey that followed.

Some call it Americana with Australian stories…we reckon that ultimately, it’s all folk music… from bluegrass to blues, tempered by a sharp pop sensibility, a string-driven trip to a narrative heart.
