INSURRECTION RESURRECTION: THE RETURN OF GARY LUCAS & GODS AND MONSTERS

City Winery NYC presents INSURRECTION RESURRECTION: THE RETURN OF GARY LUCAS & GODS AND MONSTERS live on Monday, January 6th at 7:00 pm!

featuring ERNIE BROOKS (Modern Lovers, Arthur Russell) on Bass and CALVIN WESTON (James Blood Ulmer, The Lounge Lizards) on Drums.

Guitar God GARY LUCAS (Jeff Buckley, Captain Beefheart) has released over 50 acclaimed albums as a leader or co-leader to date, and toured in over 40 countries worldwide, since cutting his teeth as a featured soloist and member of Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band. Gary may be best known for co-writing and playing on the first two songs on Jeff Buckley’s “Grace” album (Jeff thanked him in the liner notes for “magical guitarness”)—but those who have heard him live in whatever context he is playing in over the last 44 years are still raving about it. In 1989 he formed his longtime band GODS AND MONSTERS featuring a revolving cast of stellar players orbiting around Lucas’s incendiary guitar playing on both electric and acoustic. This show is the debut of his latest band lineup, now a psychedelic power trio featuring the rock-steady propulsive bass of Ernie Brooks and the exploding nebula of drummer extraordinaire Calvin Weston. Prepared to have your mind blown.
