When an act pulled out of one of our Blue Moon festivals, Luke was recommended to me and filled the gap at the last minute, after, I lost all contact with him. Then recently I heard his name again on BBC 6 Radio Music when Huey Morgan played songs from Luke's album Theo and I got back in touch. We're very happy to welcome him to his debut Sunset Session.
'Luke De-Sciscio found his songwriting voice the old-fashioned way: by writing (and mostly not releasing) dozens upon dozens of folk songs, spread out across a decade, often while living on a boat with no electricity or heat'.
His songs, mostly recorded live, winnow his music down to its most essential ingredients: a moment, a feeling and 'the most beautifully intrinsic lyrics I’ve ever heard'.
It is through this pursuit of truth that Luke has gained a devotional listenership, secured support slots with legends such as Cat Stevens and Jose Feliciano and been booked to play shows across Europe and the USA.
In 2018 Luke De-Sciscio shared the stage with Jeff Buckley co-writer Gary Lucas to sing some of the very songs that had initially inspired him to walk the musical path he treads today.
In 2020 Luke released three critically-acclaimed albums: Good Bye Folk Boy, Eucharist and Sublime. Though each record is a Universe unto its own, together they form something bigger. A single cohesive journey from despair, agony and pain, through reflection, into light. Of the trilogy Luke explained: ‘the first is the snapping of a mirror, the second a coming to terms, the third is the light through the cracks.’
He has established a burgeoning following, thanks in part to the likes of Spotify who’ve championed him in their 'Most Beautiful Songs in the World' playlist on three separate occasions, with R.O.B.Y.N., I Gave You All My Love and An Honour.
Clash Magazine declared Luke a 'rising song-writing force' and his fourth album in fourteen months put to rest any claims to the contrary.
