Even before he competed on NBC's The Voice, Nashville-based singer-songwriter Tony Lucca was no stranger to the spotlight. Lucca got his start on the '90s edition of The Mickey Mouse Club along with fellow castmembers Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, Ryan Gosling, Keri Russell and more. Lucca, now a full time musician, moved to Music City a few years ago — a change which helped inspire his critically-acclaimed 2019 album Ain't No Storm.
Today, Wide Open Country is premiering Lucca's video for "Empty Handed Blues," a striking Americana ballad that reflects on a broken relationship.
Lucca says he wrote the song on a drive from Charlotte, North Carolina to Jacksonville Beach, Florida.
The video, directed by Jeremy Burchard, was filmed in an old warehouse space in East Nashville."I didn't really set out to portray various 'sides' of myself but rather just three different looks," Lucca says. "Though once I saw the first cut of the video, I realized maybe I had done just that. The three different looks seem to represent some of the various stages of my career somehow. I guess I'd say the Tony sitting down with the guitar is the most current and thus the most 'me' of the three. Clearly, it was an interesting experiment in egocentrism."
