Lucas has performed on the Grand Ole Opry stage and was featured in the award-winning 2011 documentary short film Fanning the Fire produced by the Bluegrass Heritage Foundation.  Lucas studied music business at Middle Tennessee State University and worked with music industry coalitions in Washington D.C. to support the passage of the Music Modernization Act.  The Act, which became law in 2018, requires streaming and internet services to pay royalties to songwriters and publishers.
