HOLIDAY SALE AT THE ONION STORE

Artist Tony Lucca

  • Tony Lucca

Tony Lucca was a Mouseketeer in ’80s, appeared on the short-lived teen drama Malibu Shores in the ’90s, and won the Los Angeles Music Award for male singer-songwriter in 2001. Talk about career progression. His soft, surreal ballads evoke the solitude of open, silent spots left untouched by society. His 2010 record, Rendezvous With The Angels, wasn’t half bad, with thoughtful melodies and catchy little ditties, though the name leaves a little something to be desired. Though a few tracks have been known to fall a little out of step—Lucca’s hints of politics and neo-hippie lyrics of love might be better packaged somewhere else—he’s found a strange way of making unfamiliar places seem personal. His latest full-length, released this year, is called Solo, featuring (as one might expect) Lucca all by his lonesome.
