  • Bio

    .. Luke Redfield is a singer-songwriter who hails from Minneapolis, MN. His sound is best described as indie folk, with tinges of alt-country and free-spirited rock and roll. His debut full-length, "Ephemeral Eon" is an introspective and literate ode to life as a lonesome traveler on America's great mythical highway. It is receiving airplay and rave reviews around the world, garnering comparisons to M Ward, Townes Van Zandt, and Iron and Wine. .. In the past few years, Redfield has performed 500+ shows across the northern hemisphere, including tours of Europe, Alaska, and the lower 48. He has collaborated and shared the stage with members of (Bob Marley &) The Wailers, Happy Apple, Sound Team, Gayngs, and Andrew Bird's band; as well as Ke$ha, The Tiny, Nick Harper, Chris Koza, The Pines, Haley Bonar, Gregory Alan Isakov, and late, great Eyedea. .. A wonderful new release and U.S. tour await Redfield and his fans in 2011. .. ..Press clippings on ..Ephemeral Eon....: .. "What you might expect and hope for from a young, hip acoustic folkie from the Midwest...rollicking 'John Wesley Harding'-style acoustic twang to more atmospheric, Iron & Wine-style indie-folk." .. ....?Minneapolis Star Tribune.... .. "Redfield is a compassionate visionary who strives to reinvent the American Myth through actualization of the self." .. ....?San Diego Reader.... .. "His songs chase that mythic thread sewing this country together." .. ....?VolumeOne (Eau Claire, WI).... .. "(Redfield) not only follows in the footsteps of Dylan and Van Zandt, he is ofttimes right there alongside them." .. ....?AltCountry.NL (Netherlands).... .. "This is the kind of music I'd expect Conor Oberst to write if he could ever get his head out of the bottle ? comfortable in its limits, but ..what.. limits?" .. ....?Colorado Music Board (Boulder, CO).... .. "Redfield's nomadic ways make for a memorable debut...drawing heavily on his experiences over the last five years living all across the States ? and busking across Europe ? Redfield's songs are indelibly stamped by the drifter lifestyle." .. ....?City Pages (Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN)....

    I had been looking forward to seeing you play at the Red Sea, sir. Now I will return to LA still never having seen you live! Sad sad sad.

    Luke, thanks for listening.  No, I've not really felt the need to write any poetry lately.  You?  I'll give your tunes a listen soon; right now I've got to get ready for the boys in red to take the field tonight in San Diego.  If you visit NYC, I hope you will let me know.  


    How is your touring going?

  • David Franks: Walkabout…

    After you've finished here, you may like to hear this folk-carol on myspace...
    Poem 230 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse
    (see my blog for details): 
    CHRISTMAS SUNG SIMPLY

    As gospellers have said,
    Beneath signalling skies,
    On land dusty to tread,
    A trough in a stable
    Was the strawy first-bed
    Of a divine baby -
    The forgiving Godhead.

    A season for new hope -
    There then and here now;
    The yuletide of goodwill -
    There then and here now.

    In respect of this chance,
    Beneath bright or dark skies,
    Faith's the star that we glance
    Attending Christ's churches
    And trying to enhance,
    With singing and ritual,
    Our God-loving stance.

    A...
