Tony Lucca is an innately gifted singer/songwriter with a resume any musician would find gratifying. He’s written and self-produced five studio albums, three EPs, several live recordings and a popular DVD. He’s won the L.A. Music Award for Best Male Singer/Songwriter. His music has been featured in film and television (including Friday Night Lights, Brothers & Sisters, Shark, Felicity and Kevin Costner’s “Open Range”). Lucca has been seen on E! Entertainment, A&E Biography and performed numerous times on NBC’s Last Call with Carson Daly. He’s performed with notable artists including pop icons *NSYNC, Marc Anthony and Joss Stone, as well as indie favorites Josh Kelley, Jason Mraz and Bob Schneider. He’s galvanized an international following and has sold out premier venues coast-to-coast, including Joe’s Pub in New York and the Hotel Cafe in Los Angeles.
Lucca, however, isn’t just any musician. He’s an earnest, diligent artist who consistently strives to grow and create music that he and his listeners can find both meaningful and entertaining.
He’s been in bands since he was 10, recording in the studio since 13, then started touring and performing for fans around the same time he got his first drivers license. It wasn’t until the Michigan-native turned 18 and moved to Los Angeles that he realized his true potential as a legitimate artist. After familiarizing himself with the landscape, Lucca began writing and recording music with some of the most talented artists and players around.?
Tony’s work has spanned a wide range of genres and musical styles: from a jazz-infused pop sound (reminiscent of Steely Dan’s Aja period) to a very woodsy, Laurel Canyon style (influenced by Joni Mitchell and Jackson Browne), all while maintaining a consistency of texture and tone entirely his own. His lyrics and vocal quality are instantly identifiable, even to those who have heard his music once or twice.
Lucca's latest offering is a robust collection of rock-n-roll rhythms, soulful vocals and thought-provoking lyrics that keep you listening start to finish. Come Around Again is as fresh and emotive as it is classic and familiar. From the titillating opening track, "Foxy Jane" to the sweeping and inspired "Maybe We," Lucca shows the depth and breadth of his creative musings. In "Close Enough," he displays an astute sense of awareness of the goings-on in today’s social and political climates. "Father Time" and "Pretty Things" reflect Lucca's appreciation for a well-told story of heartbreak in the same vein as Jackson Browne or the Black Crowes. Finally, he closes the record with a simple, haunted rendition of the late Chris Whitley's "Wild Country," taking aim at what can only be assumed to be his relationship with the recording industry as he bemoans the "compromises I can't comprehend."
Come Around Again is a must-have for any Tony Lucca supporter and quite possibly the best introduction to his brilliant ongoing career.

You stopped by Nashville in May and things, as always here lately, seem to be crazy whenever you come into town. Even though it's a late thank you, I still believe in saying it because my grandmother believes it's never too late to let people know how much you appreciate them.
So Tony, thank you for coming out to Nashville May 22 to hang out with us during your tour. It's always nice to see you and I always appreciate the music you share with us and your time as well. I hope the rest of your touring goes great and that you have more fun than you've ever had. Come back to Nashville when you can and share some of your adventure with us.
P.S. DUDE! Whether we're white or not, you should know Nashville has rhythm! I mean come on now! ;)
