In this special episode, Operation Encore advisory board member Tom Luce describes his incredible musical career and how he went from painting houses to touring across the nation in sold-out venues. Tom describes the challenges of his early career, how he felt peace in the silent moments driving across the country, how he moved from the success of one song to a vibrant career, and how through it all, he focused on his love for melodies, lyrics, and arranging music.\\xa0 During the podcast, you'll hear about the time his equipment van was stolen before a show (he racked up $10K at Guitar Center), how he almost missed opening for Toad the Wet Sprocket and how one introduction can change a life. Along the way, listen to Tom perform "A Good Day", "Buy a Dog" , and a new original song exclusive to this podcast.
