From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lucas Miré (b. 1972) is an American singer/songwriter based in Atlanta, Georgia, whose music is characterized by personal lyrics, relationship themes, and melancholy melodies. His debut CD, Forever's Not As Long As It Used To Be, was independently released in 2005 on Zakz Records.
In 2005, Miré was selected by singer-songwriter/activist Doria Roberts to perform during the Queerstock block at Atlanta's Gay Pride. He also performed at the 2005 Atlantis Music Conference as part of the Odd Man Out Showcase.
In 2006, Forever's Not As Long As It Used To Be was nominated for an Outmusic Award for Outstanding Male Debut. Produced by Los Angeles-based producer B. Calm, the disc added electronic textures and flourishes to Miré's acoustic guitar-based compositions. The CD's final track, "Part Missing," was originally written and performed by Miré's mentor, singer-songwriter Lori Carson (solo artist, Slang, Golden Palominos).
In 2002, Miré was one of 12 songwriters from around the world Lori Carson invited to New York to participate in a three-day workshop. The song he wrote there, "1-1000-2," appears on the resulting 2004 songwriter compilation Songs At The Point.
He is currently prepping his next CD, tentatively titled Never Regret The Nights, for a 2008 release.
