Lucas Hudgins was born and raised in Austin, Texas with two brothers in a family of deep East Texas bloodlines. Growing up in a house full of music, Lucas was introduced to country greats like Bob Wills, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, and George Jones at a young age, and developed a deep affection for the sound. His mother’s soulful voice and guitar playing could often be heard in the early mornings as she worked through the trials of single motherhood, as well as the tough economical times that ensued. Through his experiences with his family’s East Texas lifestyle, Lucas grew up idolizing cowboys and the ability to tell stories of his life through music. At 18 Hudgins' spent a year running his uncles cattle ranch, this time alone in Beaumont, Texas, allowed Lucas to ponder the idea of writing and playing music. Soon after returning, Hudgins began dabbling with guitar, writing, and singing bluegrass and country music, and his talents were recognized by friends and musicians around Central Texas.
