The new album by Dan Lucas – rocking, melodic, full of energy, with life-affirming but also critical lyrics – straight from real life!
Age Is Just A Number contains 11 rock songs that are musically captivating and prove that Dan Lucas is still able to captivate his listeners with his expressive voice. All songs were written by Dan, with the help of composer and musician Markus Pfeffer (Barnabas Sky, Lazarus Dream) on four tracks.
The album was recorded and mixed at Empire Studio in Bensheim by Rolf Munkes (Crematory).
Singer, guitarist, songwriter, and musical performer DAN LUCAS became known to a wide television audience when he won the first season of the casting show “The Voice of Germany – Senior,” enchanting the jury with a fantastic version of the Journey classic “Don’t Stop Believin’” and John Farnham’s “You’re The Voice.” But DAN LUCAS has been around for much longer. Every rock fan fondly remembers 1988, when the Berlin band KARO released their debut album “Heavy Birthday.” At the time, hardly anyone suspected that just three years earlier, the singer had escaped the strict grip of the GDR regime as a refugee.
After moving to Munich, DAN LUCAS joined Marlboro Music as a soloist and released his solo album “Canada,” whose single “Heart of America” was used in McDonald’s commercials on all channels. For his follow-up album “2000!”, which was recorded and produced in Burbank, California, he was able to enlist numerous guest musicians such as Robin Beck, Lisa Dalbello, Kane Roberts, Ron Dante, Michael Landau, and many others. He also co-wrote the song “Close Your Eyes And Say Goodbye” with Desmond Child. Following the release of the albums “News” (ARCADE 1996) and “The Long Road” (PRIDE & JOY MUSIC 2021), Dan has also been working as a musical performer since 2022. At the Theater Hof / Saale, he played the role of Sergeant Hanks in Frank Nimsgern’s musical “Jack The Ripper.” He also played the role of Rick Stone several times in the musical “Ein bisschen Frieden – Summer Of Love,” which was performed at the Theater am Marientor Duisburg, the Festspielhaus Neuschwanstein in Füssen, and the Deutsches Theater Munich. In June 2025, he appeared as “Carl” in the rock opera HERILO at the Arena Kaufbeuren, which is expected to continue next year.
