Luke Jackson is an accomplished performer who impresses from the outset and takes his audience on a shared journey with a full bus down the bye-ways of love, hope, sorrow, and melancholy via the service stations of folk, roots, blues, Americana and soul.
Playing solo, as a duo with Andy Sharps or as a trio with Elliott Norris, he regularly tours Belgium, Netherlands, Germany and all points of the UK as well as showcasing at the International Folk Alliance conference in Kansas, a residential songwriting train journey from Halifax, Nova Scotia to Montreal, Ontario in Canada.
Luke can fill rooms, with people leaving after the concert feeling refreshed and impressed by the ?originality? of the sound and shocked with how ?full? and ?complete? the trio sound with three part harmonies and the ability to have the crowd, clapping, stomping and singing along.
Luke?s journey has been eventful ? his travels have seen him open for Fairport Convention, Glen Tillbrook, Show of Hands, Martyn Joseph, Paul Brady, Seth Lakeman, Marillion, Karine Polwart, and The Oysterband amongst many others.
Luke?s latest recording is a full studio album ?Journals? with an official release date of 8th November 2019.
Journals is a collection of songs recorded over a 1 year+ period, to get the best, most organic sound.
The songs are freshly penned for this album and feature Luke?s trademark story telling style along with social commentary and topical subjects also. All mixed and performed to produce his best work to date.
In February 2018 Luke put out his first live album ?Solo:Duo:Trio? which again has been enthusiastically received, with Mike Harding noting ?That?s got to be one of the most faultless live recordings ever in my opinion- he?s a great songwriter with a great voice and boy can he sing the blues?
Luke is an ever present in the live music scene, gigging relentlessly all over, and he remains a prolific songwriter in demand across the United Kingdom and Europe.
What They Say:
?I was hugely impressed by every part of Luke?s music ? he?s a great singer, writer and performer, a striking new voice.? Frank Turner
If you think previous comparisons to Richard Thompson jump the gun, think again; because there?s something that sets this performance a discreet cut above the rest ? Edinburgh Fringe Festival Review
