Lucifer "Lu" Large began his professional musical career in 1985, while still a High School student in Laramie, Wyoming.  He sang baritone in the Plainsmen Singers show choir and travelled to Hollywood, California to compete in the annual Young Americans choir competition.  During his time at LHS, he co-founded the band Grim Rose and began writing original music.  

In 1987 he returned to Hollywood to attend the acclaimed Musician's Institute, graduating from the Bass Institute of Technology the following year.  

After returning to Wyoming, he performed in several local and regional acts, such as Deep Six, Perfect Balance, Badstone, Hangman's Jury, Hurricane Hattie, Hard Hat Lily, Five Lane Highway, Michael Reaux's Outriders and toured internationally with Bluestone (later changed their name to Blinddog Smokin'). 

In 1992 he began a venture into songwriting, using the bass to accompany his soulful vocalizations, largely inspired by his teachers at BIT which included Stuart Hamm, Billy Sheehan, Share Pedersen, Tim Bogert and Gary Willis.   After attending a solo performance by Elton John he committed himself to performing solo with the intent of solidifying his internal sense of rhythm and separating his vocal melodies from the accompaniment to achieve a more nuanced musical style, which has been appropriately called Apocalypse Blues.

​

In 1998, he recorded his first solo album with a new band, entitled A Time For New Spiders which saw a limited release. It featured the talents of virtuoso guitarist Joe Hunter, drummer Dan Madsen and others on five tracks: Ghost of the Blues, Years, Chalice of Love, Misery and Acadiana Cruel.

​

His 2nd album, Lord of the Heart was recorded in 2015 and demo versions of 11 songs were released on Reverbnation.com, before his marriage fell apart and he ended up losing his house and studio.  In the years that followed, he endured two levels of neck fusion due to a spinal stenosis which nearly paralyzed him and left him unable to play bass.  After a 10-year hiatus and complete recovery, he has re-acquired his bass skills and finally resumed his music career to the surprise and delight of his devoted fans and new audiences alike.

​His current focus is the completion and release of Lord of the Heart and he has already working on the songs for his 3rd album Vehement.
