Luke played at the south Starbuck’s tonight, out on the patio. Despite the heat, it is actually quite comfortable there, because it’s in the shade in the evening. Luke’s going to be playing Tuesdays at 7:00 pm, and I urge you to stop in for a listen.

Jaxon, Luke’s oldest son, joined in for one tune tonight… so he gets his photo on the ol’ blog. Luke played a lot of our favorites, plus some songs from Curious Yello, the band he was in back in the college days. They’re not that far back, are they, Luke? By the way, if you’re looking for some Curious Yello music, check out their album “Wish” on iTunes by clicking below:

Luke would probably describe his music as acoustic indie folk or something like that. I just describe it as good. One thing that’s cool is that he transforms into a one-man band by using a digital device called a Boomerang to record and loop samples of his voice or an instrument, then accompany himself…live, and on the fly! It’s really sweet and looks like it takes some talented feet to control it.

Certain of Luke’s original songs, “Chameleon” for example (my current favorite), have an ethereal quality to them that I really Wish (pun intended) I would have had back in the 80’s when there were far more stargazing nights with Michele and my pals.

Tuesdays. Starbucks. 7:00 pm.
