biography
Lucas Hudgins was born and raised in South Austin Texas, in a family of deep East Texas bloodlines.Growing up in a house filled with music, Lucas was introduced to roots greats like Bob Wills, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, and George Jones, and developed a deep appreciation for their sound.
His mother’s soulful voice and guitar/piano performances around the house also influenced him to make his own music.Lucas began his professional journey pursuing a degree in Creative Writing and working towards a career in Radio–TV-film (sports broadcasting).
He didn’t realize his knack for performing and songwriting until he was nearly 25, though others did. Successful Austin musicians involved in the local“roots” music scene (Weary Boys, Warren Hood, and South Austin Jug Band) began to urge the novice Hudgins sit in on their performances at local Austin hot-spots. Hudgins wooed the crowds, belting out well-known and powerful covers of crooners like Charlie Pride, Merle Haggard, and Lefty Frizzell.
This introduction to the Austin music scene eventually led Hudgins to join Reaux’s Heroes- a scrappy little country-hillbilly-rock band playing in and around town. It was here that Lucas was introduced to original First Cousins guitar slinger, Ben Massey, as well as being reunited with longtime friend and local drummer, Matt Puryear. Reaux’s Heroes would dismantle in 2004 to become Lucas Hudgins and theFirst Cousins, which quickly reached a successful public high note, playing popular Austin venues such as The Continental Club, The Broken Spoke, and The Hole in the Wall.
In 2005 Hudgins released his debut album, Honky Tonk Illusion...writing the entire album after a hard breakup with a long-term girlfriend. It was well received by critics and fans alike, and still holds international lore for classic country fans.The 2009 Lucas released The World Left is Mine, produced by Dave Biller the album showcased co-writer Chris Miller and Hudgins’ common love for crafting fundamental country songs through timeless themes of nightlife, heartache, addiction, and regret.
Once again, the album quickly impressed critics and lovers of roots country music around the world receiving airplay in Texas as well as in Europe and across the globe.Due to health issues, Hudgins took some time away from the music business, but is now back in full swing. He has been playing shows around Austin, as well as putting together some upcoming national dates with Charley Crockett.
In early 2021 Lucas teamed up with writer/producer Hal Jon Vorpahl to write and record a collection of songs and projects to be released over the next year.
