Bio:

From the San Francisco Bay Area (California), Lance Houck is an experienced singer-songwriter, who began playing music when he was ten years old, and started recording at about twelve. Lance has since written and recorded over 300 songs. His songs are typically acoustic and modern pop with a Classic Rock flavor, often compared to The Beatles, Oasis, John Mayer, and Taylor Swift. One of his comedic songs was featured on "The Tonight Show." Lance says "It was so surreal to see Jimmy and the Roots playing and singing along, while the whole audience was clapping and singing to the rhythm."

In the live music world, Lance has been gigging for many years in the Bay Area, with a group called I*ko Yaya. He describes the band as a "New Orleans Soul, Blues, Cajun, Mardi Gras and Zydeco band that aims to bring fun & lots and lots of dancing wherever they go." Lance plays bass, guitar, and sang in this band.

As a Songlorious artist, Lance says, "I think there is something brilliant and beautiful about writing a song that will become a gift of compassion and love for someone... That is what I think we are missing so much right now in this current climate and that is why I feel so honored to be able to give that away."
