"Devil Got No Place To Hide!"
CHASE THE DEVIL (Dean Bowman and Gary Lucas) formed in the summer of 2008 over a mutual love of spiritual roots music.
Both jazz/blues vocalist DEAN BOWMAN and guitarist extraordinaire GARY LUCAS are steeped in deep roots music both sacred and secular since their earliest musical strivings.
World-class musicians, between them they have played on hundreds of albums both as leaders and as sidemen, and have toured the globe in their search for musical excellence and truth.
They recognize that the common denominator in both country blues, sanctified Christian gospel music, Jewish liturgical music, Islami quawwali music, and their own original songs, is the passionate element of human struggle, which informs all their work.
That--and a desire to elevate the proceedings around them--to lift the bandstand.
CHASE THE DEVIL explodes into ecstasy by reinvigorating the music and poetry of such transcendental artists such as Rev. Gary Davis, William Blake, Blind Willie Johnson, the Sabri Brothers, Joseph Spence, the Staple Singers, Nusrat Fatah Ali Khan, Shlomo Carlebach, and many others.
They also are busy writing their own new original spirituals.
The duo have performed several times in NYC to overflow crowds who were always on their feet dancing by the end of their show.
They look forward to bringing their intense and emotional music to the multitudes world-wide.
Their aim is to lift and inspire...to transmit joy and to teach, not preach.
This is where the soul of Man never dies.
