The Lucas Haneman Express Ottawa The Lucas Haneman Express is a soulful, fun filled and electrifying musical ride. The groups frontman, Lucas Haneman, has long been widely regarded for his distinctive guitar work. With Jeff Asselin (drums), Martin Newman (bass/backing vocals), Megan Laurence (backing vocals) and a full length album full of ear candy and poignant lyrics, Haneman has found his true means of self-expression. "Welcome Aboard" is the band's debut release, and it is a journey through fresh funky grooves, memorable melodic hooks, gripping guitar solos, and blistering band interplay! The Express's music is a combination of blues, funk, reggae and rock, tied together by undertones of the jazz spirit (musical interaction and reaction). On the 11 track LP (which was released in April 2015), all of these flavours have combined and flourished to create an addictive new sound. In September 2015 the Lucas Haneman Express won first place in the Ottawa Blues Societies' Road To Memphis competition and will be traveling down to Memphis in January 2016 to compete in the "International Blues Challenge" alongside bands from all over the globe.
