Lucas Raye's blog

Hello Amigos!

It has been a while since I last blogged on this site so I thought it was high time for me to do something about it.
Since my last post a lot has been going on, I played over 250 gigs in 2011, released a 6 track EP onto iTunes (hard copies available at all gigs), been on BBC and local radio stations, played at various festivals and weddings and launched my website www.lucasraye.com

What a mental game this is!

I have more tracks that are currently being bounced around the studio which I am looking forward to having released, we have decided to do the releases slighting differently this year to keep everything fresh, you can find out more on that nearer the time :-]

Tonight I am playing at Urban Reef, an awesome bistro bar on the Boscombe sea front, tomorrow I am not gigging so am spending the night catching up with family and celebrating a very belated Mothers day! Gigs of course all over the weekend :-)

So, please check out the web page, all gig dates are posted there and any questions, get in touch!

What a mad year it has been! I cannot believe how fast everything has come into play! Over the past few months I have met some amazing people, gigged at some brilliant venues and written some (what I hope to be) great songs.

I played my last gig before Christmas last night, and realised that I've been going back there to perform since the ago of 16!

I have a couple more gigs booked in until the end of the year, both of which I'm really looking forward to. Then we have the turn of the NY, and it all starts again.

There is a lot coming up for 2011, it's going to be a busy year so am looking forward to a couple of days off this week. I am getting my studio sorted at the moment but shall be back in there very soon recording 5 - 8 tracks that I've written, ready for an EP release in Spring!

Shall keep you up to date with everything new as of the NY, have a wonderful Christmas!

Right... today I am full of cold so have resigned myself to not do much today... HOWEVER things apart from my fluy-ness are amazing, everything seems to be picking up some speed, the tracks that I have spent the last few months writing, recording and finally producing are now finished!

The 2 artists who are putting together the artwork for the single release have been brilliant, we have done photoshoots and all sorts, making sure they have enough material to work some magic!

So.. we have the single release coming up, and fingers cross as launch night, I'm hoping to get some radio plays in between now and then and all the while, gigging like mad as often as I can.

Things have been busy and hectic for the last few months now, but I am hoping it is only going to get worse! This is a great way of making a living, long may it continue!

Take it easy,
