GARY LUCAS just returned from well-received shows in Canada and Mexico, beginning in Vancouver British Columbia at the Chutzpah! Festival, where he performed his solo live soundtrack accompanying James Whale’s 1931 horror classic “Frankenstein” the night before Halloween.

While in Vancouver he hung out with his old friend comedian / actor Sandra Bernhard, who performed Gary’s song “Follow” with Gary sitting in with her band several years ago at a large rally in support of Gay Marriage Rights at NYC’s Crobar.
Lucas then traveled to Mexico for successful shows in Mexico City and Cuernavaca Mexico performing his live solo score accompanying the 1931 Spanish-language “Dracula”. His Dracula shows were a Pick in Mexico’s national newspaper La Jornada:
