Tony Lucca has been acting and performing music in the public eye for more than 20 years. In the early ’90s he starred on “The All New Mickey Mouse Club” (or MMC to the fans) on the Disney Channel, alongside now-household names like Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears and Ryan Gosling. He dated MMC costar Keri Russell for several years, co-starring with her on the shortlived Aaron Spelling teen drama “Malibu Shores” in 1996, and released his first album “So Satisfied” in 1997.
In the early 2000s, he opened on tour for NSYNC, of which Timberlake and MMC alum JC Chasez were members. More recently, he placed third on the 2012 season of “The Voice,” toured with the likes of Maroon 5 and Kelly Clarkson, and starred in a commercial for Timberlake’s 901 Silver Tequila brand.
This year, Lucca released his eighth studio album, a self-titled effort made possible by a successful Kickstarter campaign. On Thursday, Sept. 10, Lucca performs at 8 p.m. at Mohegan Sun’s Wolf Den for free. 888-226-7711 and mohegansun.com.
