Lucas Jack began his songwriting and performance career creating songs for family occasions as a small boy, a passion he carried as a teenager to the bars, hotel lobbies, and social events growing up in Michigan – anywhere with an unguarded piano. 

This creative impulse was cultivated throughout his twenties, playing in bands, and honing his craft while practicing law in Chicago. Sacrificing the certainty of a professional career and following a move to Texas, he began pursuing music full-time and released his first album, The Chicago EP, in 2012.  Two more studio albums followed: Before I Forget (2015) and Make it Beautiful (2016).

After 6 years of playing shows, writing music, and developing his sound with bandmates Justin Schneider and Mike Gomez, the band signed a record deal and recorded some of their most inspired music yet throughout 2022 and 2023 at Studio G in Brooklyn (NY) with producer Pete Harper.  The result is Bittersweet is Better, a journey through the complexities of love, aging, chasing the dream, and fending off demons backed by music from a band that is finding its voice.

Already compiling over 1 million streams, Bittersweet is Better is connecting in an elevated way with both old and new fans.  The final 5 of 10 songs will be released in the spring and summer of 2024.
