Gary Lucas 20th Anniversary Show--"In a Forest"

Celebrating 20 years of recording and performing with his band Gods and Monsters, guitarist extraordinaire Gary Lucas put together an evening length show booked by Live Nation at the sumptuous Gramercy Theater in NYC on 6/11/09 that spanned the length and breadth of his career. Here he performs solo his original song "In a Forest", which graced his retrospective rarities album "Improve the Shining Hour" (2000, Knitting Factory Records).
Classic Rock (UK) just cited Gary Lucas as one of the "100 Greatest Living Guitarists". Rolling Stone called Gary Lucas "one of the best and most original guitarists in America...and a songwriter of established invention", referring to his co-writing of "Jeff Buckley's signature songs 'Grace' and 'Mojo Pin'. Gods and Monsters have been called "an underground rock fan's dream team" by the New Yorker, and Time Out NY raved: "The group is mindblowing!".
