The Bio
Lucas Cates is a young singer/songwriter from Madison, Wisconsin. His debut album, “Contradictory”, has just been released on PopBomb Records.
Recently, The Lucas Cates Band was added to Triple A radio giant, 105.5 WMMM. “4everytime”, 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.”
Here are some of the other things being said about this 25 year old artist and his band:
“Ridiculously catchy songs”, “Bouncy infectious melodies and memorable lyrics“…………“Addictive”!!!!! “The same kind of smooth flowing bounce that vaulted Jack Johnson to stardom”! – Kiki Schueler/Rick’s Cafe
“The song ''Contradictory'' is unique pop-country-rock-punk-cool. Sounds kind of like a midwestern modern-day Elvis Costello." – Broadjam Review
“The first single, “4evertime” goes down as easy as Sugar Ray’s “Every Morning”. With gentle, reflective songs and teen-idol good looks, Cates has all the trappings of mass-market appeal”. - Rich Albertoni/
The Isthmus
“Lucas 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
“Robert J.’s bluesy electric guitar solos bring to mind Carlos Santana……. I guess that makes Cates the parallel-universe Rob Thomas; it’s probably only a matter of time before he writes his own version of “Smooth”, a perfect pop song." - Rick’s 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 “Contradictory” and have appeared on Urban Theatre (T.V.), Live at Five(WISC-TV) and 105.5 WMMM for “Live from Studio M”. They have shared the stage with The Gabe Dixon Band and Michael Glabicki of Rusted Root.
