Luke Legs

About Me

Luke Legs is an Australian country-folk singer, and an emerging star. His strength is in his song-writing which is reminiscent of old American country crooners, but with an Australian touch. He has the ability to entirely tranfix an audience with a gentle twist of words, or bring the house down with dynamic bluegrass guitar and fiddle.

It all began when Luke Legs was asked to fill in at a Karaoke competition at a pub in early 2000's. He grabbed the microphone and was asked to sing an old Elvis song. Luke Legs rose to the challenge bringing the room to a standstill with his voice. After that he saw a different calling.

Luke Legs is not afraid to wear his influences on his sleeve, Paul Kelly, Jordie Lane, and even John Denver, but if you dig a little deeper you will find unique soulful music that resonates with listeners. In his own words, he is determined to write "songs that matter". His songs tell stories of love on train rides, wanting to sing in a band, and the dreaded morning after falling in love for a night. Over the last 5 years, he has performed over 100 shows, including performances at the Falls Festival, throughout Europe, and many high profile support slots.

His latest recording, and debut album is a product of songs that have been swimming around his head for the past last 6 years. It is produced by Davin Pidato, who has worked with Neil Young, along with many others. The album incorporates a band, including fiddle, drums, and even a cheeky pedal steel.

Luke Legs's debut independent album will be released June 2010. For more information contact [email protected]
