VANCOUVER, Canada (SKYLAR ENTERTAINMENT) - Piano rocker Ryan Luchuck's follow up to 2003's debut EP has finally arrived. A Super Happy Heartbreak CD Release Party will be held in Toronto, Ontario on May 12th at the Horseshoe Tavern followed by Luchuck's first cross Canada tour.
The full length debut, A Super Happy Heartbreak is full of emotional highs and lows. While songs like 'Beautiful' and 'Only Girl' are optimistic, 'That's When You Know' is the ultimate breakup song. There is also a song for any girl wise enough not to date musicians 'I'm Not Waiting.' 'People were starting to doubt we'd ever finish this album,' says piano rocker Ryan Luchuck (l-oo-chuck), referring to the nearly three years since his debut EP 'It definitely seemed at times that fate didn't want it to happen, well too bad because here it is.' After years of songwriting, a failed six month recording attempt with a known producer and a flooded rehearsal space ($10,000 in equipment lost), the guys hit the studio on their own in early 2006 and recorded sixteen songs in three weeks. Luchuck will now embark on his first cross Canada tour to support the release. Originally from Regina, Saskatchewan, Luchuck moved to Toronto in 2002 and soon landed a weekly gig playing covers in a college piano bar. Between taking requests, he began to play his own songs to the drunken crowd. To his surprise, his originals became more popular than many rock'n'roll classics. These songs were released on his debut EP in 2003. With no promotional budget, Luchuck managed to sell 1,500 copies and garner rave reviews from critics worldwide. After recording his debut EP alone, Luchuck formed a band originally only for live shows. Ben Adivi (drums) and Jason Eagan (bass) joined and soon became an integral part of the piano rock sound. The Ryan Luchuck Band has won fans across Ontario and Quebec with their energetic live shows and was voted the No 3 act of Canadian Music Week 2005 by The Coast Magazine (Halifax). https://www.ryanluchuck.com/ https://www.myspace.com/ryanluchuck
