Tony Lucca to release new album in March<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Singer-songwriter is back with a\u00a0Nashville-inspired dose of Americana<\/strong>
\nNashville-based singer-songwriter Tony Lucca is flexing his Americana muscles on his forthcoming new album,\u00a0Ain\u2019t No Storm<\/em>, which he will be releasing on March 29, 2019.\u00a0\u00a0Ain\u2019t No Storm<\/em>\u00a0reads like a who\u2019s who of East Nashville notables: Ken Coomer produced the record at his studio, Cartoon Moon, great Nashville players like Michael Webb, Ted Pecchio, and Joe Garcia lent their talents \u2014 and even Patrick Sweany stopped in for a cameo on \u201cRoom With A View.\u201d Replete with songs borne of his admiration for Nashville\u2019s rich history \u2013 the town\u2019s creative community ultimately fueled Lucca\u2019s return to the studio and inspired the new album \u2013\u00a0Ain\u2019t No Storm<\/em>\u00a0finds Lucca embracing with reverence the process and craft of songwriting and taking his time (more than two years) to get it right.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn Nashville when you visit, people say, \u2018Anything I can do for you, just let me know,\u2019\u201d Lucca says. \u201cAnd then you move here, and you realize those arms really are wide open and those people aren\u2019t full of sh*t. They really do want you to be part of the community here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lucca brought a workman-like mentality to songwriting in his new hometown, writing or co-writing \u201cdaily and diligently,\u201d spending years honing his craft. \u201cI just took up songwriting as a full-time occupation, figured I\u2019d make another record when I felt compelled to,\u201d Lucca says. He eventually developed a songwriter residency at Midtown venue The Local, all the while touring the country. Over those formative years at the beginning of Lucca\u2019s Act II, the songwriter again found himself falling in love with the purity of it all. \u201cIt was restorative for me on the creative side,\u201d Lucca says. \u201cIt was also educational as I really tuned into the creative community and Nashville rhythm.\u201d\u00a0 He eventually found a home with Demolition Publishing, which boasts one of Music Row’s more notable rosters of both young and established writers.<\/p>\n

Lucca\u2019s admiration and respect for Nashville\u2019s songwriting community, it turns out, was mutual. After moving to Nashville, he quickly found his calendar consumed with co-writes from old and new friends alike. Those include Driver Williams, tour-mate turned co-writer and \u201cNashville treasure\u201d Gabe Dixon, and the Grammy-nominated Billy Montana (\u201cSage wisdom \u2014 bit of a mentor,\u201d Lucca says of Montana).<\/p>\n

Throughout that process, Lucca began \u201csalting away\u201d the songs that really reached out and grabbed him. \u201cThose songs that make me sit in an empty room with an acoustic guitar and go, \u2018Yeah, I\u2019d be playing this song right now even if nobody were listening,\u2019\u201d Lucca says. \u00a0He found the songs that\u00a0\u201cstarted to feel like my expression \u2014 how I want to channel my creative energy,\u201d as he says. \u201cIt took\u00a0my whole career to get to the point where I just went into the studio and, as Ray Charles said, \u2018Make it do what it do.\u2019\u201d
\nLucca continues, \u201cThis is about as honest an album as I could ever make. There were very few takes of each song even recorded. Most of the vocals were recorded right along with the acoustic guitar. There was minimal editing and very few overdubs.\u201d\u00a0 The combination of meticulously crafting songs and freewheeling in the studio led to a record that is ready to announce Lucca as a force not just for his vocals, but also for his\u00a0voice<\/em>. It\u2019s a record that delicately balances the eternal optimism of a man drawn to put newness out to the world with the road-worn realism of a man who weathered the storm ever-so-slightly more than it weathered him.<\/p>\n

Lucca\u2019s career is a long and noteworthy one that spans some of the country\u2019s greatest music scenes \u2014 from his hometown Motown mecca of Detroit, to the hills of Hollywood, to the borough of Brooklyn. \u00a0It includes stints in some of the shiniest environments, from his early years in the “Mickey Mouse Club” alongside future pop stars like Justin Timberlake and Christina Aguilera, to his top-three finish on the second season of NBC\u2019s “The Voice.”\u00a0 But for Lucca, and for his music, Nashville just makes the most sense and is the best fit.<\/p>\n

Lucca plans to tour in support of\u00a0Ain\u2019t No Storm<\/em>\u00a0(see confirmed tour dates below; more to be announced at a later date).\u00a0 In the lead up to the album\u2019s release in March, Lucca is also slated to perform at the annual City Summit Gala in Los Angeles on February 24, 2019.\u00a0 This year\u2019s event honorees and speakers include Colin Farrell, Les Brown, Kevin Harrington, Randy Jackson, and Mario Lopez.<\/p>\n
