Janne “Lucas” Persson participated twice in the Melodifestivalen in Sweden. In 1980 he performed Växeln hallå and finished in second place. He returned in 1981 with Rocky Mountain and took the third place position that year. He has been performing for many years as a singer and pianist with various bands including Lucas, where he got the nickname of “Lucas”. They had several hits such as a cover version of Go Now made popular worldwide by the Moody Blues.

Now Janne Lucas plays and tours with the Cadillac Band in Sweden. They specialise in rock’n’roll and classic songs from the 50s, 60s and 70s.
