Tony Lucca (MySpace) has been plying his trade—blues and soul-infused singer-songwriter rock—largely unrecognized for over ten years now. His sound is not exactly what you'd expect from a former Mouseketeer who at one point opened for the likes of Marc Anthony and N Sync. But with his latest album, , Lucca shows that all that kiddie stuff is long behind him. He's an earnest, talented songwriter whose sound is inescapably heartland-inspired Southern California, a la Jackson Browne and The Eagles. It's little wonder that he's lately been selling out places like Joe's Pub in New York and The Hotel Café in L.A.

By now, you've probably read about Matt Duke (MySpace) on these pages more times than you can count. We've also mentioned Rachael Yamagata (MySpace) a couple of times. And back in December 2007, we told you about an awesome concert benefiting WXPN Musicians On Call and featuring some great local talent, including Duke. So, if you were to put all those things together, what would you get? Well, if you're looking for a good time and would like to help a good cause, you get your plan for tomorrow night.

There are some artists whose legacy is defined less by the memorable songs and albums they create, but more by the other artists they inspire. That's how we think of Camper Van Beethoven (MySpace), who is probably best known—if known at all—by music fans today as the group that did "Take the Skinheads Bowling." But if you don't know Camper Van Beethoven, take a listen to songs like "When I Win the Lottery" and "Might Makes Right" and you'll have a difficult time figuring out whether it first hit the radio 20 years ago or 20 minutes ago.
