The Bio

Lucas Cates is a young singer/songwriter from Madison, Wisconsin. His debut album, âContradictoryâ, has just been released on PopBomb Records.

Recently, The Lucas Cates Band was added to Triple A radio giant, 105.5 WMMM. â4everytimeâ, has been putting a feel-good vibe into the summer airwaves. Says Jeff Black of 105.5 Triple M,

"If Lucas Cates and his band aren't being enjoyed nationally within the year, there is something seriously wrong with the Triple A music industry.â

Here are some of the other things being said about this 25 year old artist and his band:

âRidiculously catchy songsâ, âBouncy infectious melodies and memorable lyricsââ¦â¦â¦â¦âAddictiveâ!!!!! âThe same kind of smooth flowing bounce that vaulted Jack Johnson to stardomâ! â Kiki Schueler/Rickâs Cafe

âThe song 'Contradictory' is unique pop-country-rock-punk-cool. Sounds kind of like a midwestern modern-day Elvis Costello." â Broadjam Review

âThe first single, â4evertimeâ goes down as easy as Sugar Rayâs âEvery Morningâ. With gentle, reflective songs and teen-idol good looks, Cates has all the trappings of mass-market appealâ. - Rich Albertoni/
The Isthmus

âLucas Cates is an exciting songwriter with a high-energy approach to breezy acoustic pop. His slightly gravelly baritone gives a lot of weight to the stories on his new disc." - The Onion

âRobert J.âs bluesy electric guitar solos bring to mind Carlos Santanaâ¦â¦. I guess that makes Cates the parallel-universe Rob Thomas; itâs probably only a matter of time before he writes his own version of âSmoothâ, a perfect pop song." - Rickâs Café

The Lucas Cates Band consists of 3 high school friends and their older, illegitimate, adopted, delinquent brother/producer.

They are performing showcases in support of âContradictoryâ and have appeared on Urban Theatre (T.V.), Live at Five(WISC-TV) and 105.5 WMMM for âLive from Studio Mâ. They have shared the stage with The Gabe Dixon Band and Michael Glabicki of Rusted Root.
