Intention and the Adequacy of Delusion by Vonrenzo

Luaces went on to attend Manhattan College, eventually graduating with degrees in philosophy and finance. But one afternoon, while attending a concert by the Dave Matthews Band, Luaces had a revelation; as the band landed with perfect timing on the final note of "Last Stop," Luaces turned to a friend and said, "This is what I'm going to do with my life." He picked up his guitar again and, for the first time in more than a decade, began to play.

Luaces' first band, "BEND," had moderate college radio success and toured regularly for almost a year. The culmination of that band's success was being selected as one of the top unsigned bands in the country to represent New York City at the "Jeff Buckley Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame Tribute Concert" in July of 2003. But tragedy intervened again; after the band's lead guitarist was nearly killed in a motorcycle accident, Bend disbanded, and Luaces embarked on a solo career, intent on discovering his musical vision and finding who he truly was as an artist.

Luaces paired up with producer and songwriter Kyle 'Slick' Johnson (Fischerspooner, Modest Mouse, Alabama Black Snake, Lonekilty, Soft & Slick, Hotrods to the Gods, Tiger & the Knockdowns) to create his first masterpiece. After three years and logging thousands of hours of work, Adam and Kyle released "Intention and the Adequacy of Delusion" - November 2006. A fearless album of unbridled emotional release, "Intention..." captures the desperate sound of a life in free fall.

While Luaces' medium is music, he considers himself an artist first and foremost, and his album is the first in a five part series that Luaces has committed himself to. Pairing up again with Johnson, Luaces is currently working on his second album, "Indicates Where You Are" due out January 2008 as well as weekend touring in support of Intention and the Adequacy of Delusion".

Powerfully influenced by the late Jeff Buckley, and by early memories of watching his parents perform, Luaces is particularly known for his intense live performances, Critics have compared Luaces to Dave Matthews, Greg Dulli (Afghan Whigs & Twilight Singers), and Jeff Tweedy (Wilco & Uncle Torpedo).
