“Local” performances
Groups within a 100-mile radius of Lucas’ home in Austin are considered “local” and have a wider variety of dates from which to choose. Just go to Lucas’ calendar (it may help to choose the “month” tab) and look for open dates. Choose at least one and then contact Lucas to make your request. If you need a particular date, try to contact Lucas several months in advance.
“Touring” performances
Groups more than 125 miles from Austin usually require that Lucas spend at least one night in a hotel room. To limit his driving time and the number of nights he spends away from his family, Lucas usually requires 3-5 consecutive dates be booked in an area. He blocks off good weeks to tour on his calendar and, usually, each of these weeks is at least partially booked by the end of September of that school year so call as quickly as possible to reserve your dates.
To choose your date go to Lucas’ calendar and look for dates marked “TOUR BLOCK.” If none of the options work for you, you are welcome to go ahead and contact Lucas to discuss your situation; there may be other options.

Weekend Dates
Lucas tries to work only one weekend date per month and is very selective about festival performances. If you’re wanting a weekend date, please contact Lucas to discuss your particular situation.
