"Try So Hard" live in State College, PA!


Loops & Lyrics Tour '09 vLog 7!!...


Biography:

Crossing state lines with guitars, looping pedals, and all manner of percussive instrument in tow, Lucas Carpenter is a modern pop troubadour. With a beat heavy and melody rich sound that borrows from his love of folk songcraft, the colorfulness of pop, Nashville storytelling, and hip electronic production values, LC is remixing what it means to be a singer-songwriter.

Born into a tightly knit, small town community in Pennsylvania, he is the son of a funeral director and the much loved black sheep of a large family. A self-proclaimed "Art Kid From the Country", Lucas began his creative journey in musical theater productions, choirs, and garage bands before moving first to Pittsburgh, then to Boston to attend the Berklee College of Music (’06 Songwriting graduate), and on to Philadelphia where he currently resides when not on the road. His songs are colorful sonic tapestries, contrasting the mundane and often comic reality of life in rural America against the cultural diversity and fast pace of the cities he's called home.

Since releasing the “Art Kids From the Country” EP 3 years ago, Lucas has played over 300 shows, sold over 3,000 albums and digital downloads completely independently, and created “The Pixelated Path” (2008), his most ambitious work to date. “The Path”, produced with Los Angeles based friend and producer Alder (Sean Kingston), ventured into new sonic territory, combining beats generated from samples of office equipment, classic synthesizer sounds, beatboxing, and even a desk chair rolling across the floor, with organic instrumentation that included fretless guitar, Irish tin whistles, nyckelharpa (Swedish keyed fiddle), and toy pianos.

Currently, Lucas is on the road, sharing his high octane, electro-acoustic show with fans across the country. As a songwriter, a storyteller, a producer, and a performer Lucas Carpenter offers a new vision for the modern pop artist.

* Was the top booked solo musical act (booking 17 colleges) at the 2007 Northeast APCA College Conference

* Endorsed by Shubb Guitar capos, and PreSonus Audio

* Voted "Best of Philly Rising" by World Cafe Live (Philadelphia, PA)

* Lucas' music was featured in the film "Inclusions", which won "Best Feature Film" at the 2007 Northampton International Film Festival

* Winner of the 2004, 2005, and 2006 Berklee College of Music Songwriting Contest with the songs "Making Mirrors Extict" and "Morning Touching Down In New York"

* 2006 Graduate of the Berklee College of Music with a degree in songwriting and has studied under Jeff Ramsey (Maxwell, Al Jarreau, Diana Ross), Jamey Haddad (Paul Simon, Simon & Garfunkel, Carly Simon), Pat Pattison (author: Writing Better Lyrics), and Livingston Taylor

hey! Sooo i pretty much LOVE you now! ur pretty darn cute AND SUPER
TALANTED,, i like to make street teams for super awesome ppl like you :)
Especially if you could read my life story :)
When I was a baby the doctors didn't think I'd walk, I have cerbal palsy.
But
I did walk, I was three years old when I took my first step. I had
thrown a toy on the ground, and my mom wouldn't get it for me so I got
up and walked,
to get it. .
When I was four I had my feeding tube removed this was the first time I had ever eaten real food.
By the time I was nine years oldi had been through: four or five eye surgires a leg surgry, and having my feeding tube removed
Then when I was nine and in 3rd grade I got sick, really sick I got the flu so bad that i was in the hospital
I cant run well
and I sometimes can't walk straight
To
this day I have days where I don't want to go t school and deal with
getting tried easier and made fun of because I walk slower then most
kids,I could use a wheel chair and get special permission to not run in
PE but I don't
i dont plan on it slowing me down
