6pm to 6:30pm--- Simon Lucas

Find out what's happening in Studio Citywith free, real-time updates from Patch.


Simon is a ‘folky’ from England. He has been in the U.S.A. for 30 years but still


speaks funny. He collects stringed instruments, some of which he can even play. He normally plays guitar, but has been known to pick up a string bass, dulcimer, cuatro or marxophone. He has a deep voice and sings a mixture of Irish, Scottish, Country and anything else he hears that he likes. He also has a stock of amusing songs, which sometimes he can be bribed into singing. He refuses to make CDs, so if you want to hear him, you will have to find him onstage playing live.
