Check out a little bit about our guests:

World traveling singer/songwriter over the past decade, Luke's patience and persistence as a songwriter finally opened up doors he had spent years trying to knock down. His blend of Americana/Country/Folk wrapped in a singer/songwriter blanket has developed from writing hundreds of songs, and has propelled him to work with the greats that have brought us Coldplay and John Mayer. Will Luke be next? Luke also has a passion for incorporating philanthropy with the arts and has partnered up with the Mental Health Alliance to write their engaging theme song "We're All a Little Crazy" which debuted at #42 on iTunes. — World traveling singer/songwriter over the past decade, Luke’s patience and persistence as a songwriter finally opened up doors he had spent years trying to knock down.
