| Create or get your very own MySpace Layouts Luke Escombe A singer, guitarist and songwriter whose influences include the 19th century English romantic poets, the delta bluesmen, the beat writers, string theory, surreal British comedy, Australian satire, dead folk heroes, science fiction funk, Byron Bay wildlife and wikipedia. Luke began his music career as a session guitarist in London before moving to Sydney to escape the cold. Since his arrival in Oz he has captained a 10-piece conceptual funk band, toured Tasmania with a comedy folk trio, been a featured artist on Triple J and World Vision, written essays for the Sydney Morning Herald and won accolades and awards for his unique way with words. He has recently been recording his first album as a solo artist, combining laidback grooves and exotic sounds with evocative stories of love, madness, sex, death, re-incarnation and foreign adventure. “Luke f$ing blew me away man. He‘s like a cross between Jimi Hendrix and Leonard Cohen - in the same body.” - Jack Jones (Aussie rock icon) |
