320_1 /// 320_2 /// HQ 1

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 Melodic Hard 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 fantastic solo AOR 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.

After many years, 2026 and DAN LUCAS is back with the new album “Age Is Just A Number“, to be released March 27.
The new album is properly titled, as Lucas feels full of energy, rocking, melodic, with life-affirming but also critical lyrics – straight from real life. ”Age Is Just A Number” contains 11 melodic hard rock songs with a very strong songwriting and prove that Dan Lucas is still able to captivate his listeners with his expressive voice.
It helps a lot the presence of talented Rolf Munkes (Empire, Michael Schenker Fest, Voodoo Circle) not only providing his experience with the Recording & Mix, but also playing biting guitar all over the CD.

All songs were written by Dan Luca, with the help of composer and musician Markus Pfeffer (Barnabas Sky, Lazarus Dream) on four tracks, who also play guitar alongside Munkes.
Following the release of the album “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.

But Dan Lucas true love is a rock n’ roll band and after composing new songs he wanted to record a new album, and the result is “Age Is Just A Number”, a much more rocking, uptempo album than his previous, with edge and a lively feel.
