You gotta hand it to the folks over at Sofar Sounds. They never fail to bring the best in indie talent to living rooms around the globe—from young, untapped artists to industry veterans still working to find their big break. Last month’s Sofar event here in Dallas-Fort Worth was no exception.
If you’ve never heard of Tony Lucca, you’ll wonder at how. The singer-songwriter boasts a robust resume spanning the entertainment spectrum, from beginning his career at the Mickey Mouse Club alongside Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears, to assuming a leading role in an Aaron Spelling teen drama series, writing and producing eight full-length albums, performing as a contestant on NBC’s The Voice, landing a record deal with Adam Levine, and touring with major pop acts like Maroon 5 and Kelly Clarkson.
But with Lucca’s latest efforts, it’s back to basics. Set for debut in January 2015, the artist’s eighth album is his first self-titled and entirely self-produced record. It’s more personal and more honest than ever—and worth a spotlight all its own.
We’re pleased to debut Lucca’s Sofar performance of “Imagination,” the soulful new single off his upcoming release. Check out the single, available for pre-order now, and be sure to tune into Sofar Sounds‘ YouTube channel to view more performances from the artist’s recent set.
