Artist History Nancy Luca was raised in the heart of Florida's gator country where she learned to play guitar at an early age. As the only female guitarist in Gainsville, her stage appearances were at first met with skepticism. "They didn't think girls could play" Nancy says with a laugh, "But I never minded proving them wrong." Indeed, her distinctive leads, and unique style made her extremely popular all while she was still in high school. With a strong rock and blues base of clubs in Gainsville, Nancy found she could support herself doing just what she loved. Her philosophy of playing is simple: "I love entertaining people and sharing what I know. Each gig brings with it new challenges,and new opportunities to grow as a player." Word of mouth created a demand for her as a session player with such greats as Tom Petty, Bo Diddley, and the late Willie Dixon to name a few. This led to her first big break. After many sessions with Diddley, she was asked by him to write and perform two songs on his new album, "Breaking Through the B.S." Nancy toured with Diddley on the East Coastin support of this album. In the summer of 1997, the word about Nancy spread across the country to Los Angeles, where she was invited to work with a multi-platinum producer to record her first demo recordings. Nancy was selected to follow in the footsteps of Sheryl Crow and Mary Chapin-Carpenter as the headline for the 1998 NATO and U.S Tour. The tour traveled around the world giving support to the Americans stationed in countries such as Bosnia, Croatia and Hungary. Since the release of her self titled CD, released on her own Gatorville Records, Nancy has been playing from coast to coast receiving rave reviews. Currently she is writing new material for her next CD
