Last Friday at Aroma Bakery and Café, Norman Lucas (left) and his father, Glenn Lucas, played some 'unplugged' gospel and Christian rock songs to entertain diners. Many of the songs that the Lucas duo played were either songs that they had written, or popular Christian songs. When one of the audience members casually asked Glenn how often they were photographed during performances, he jested 'not often enough.' Glenn and Norman Lucas are half of the 'Glenn Lucas Family quarter'. Other members include Glenn's other two sons Thom Lucas on bass and Tim Lucas on drums. All songs written and produced by The Glenn Lucas Family are available on iTunes. Aroma Bakery and Cafe offers entertainment almost weekly on Fridays.
