“★★★★ Luka Bloom is the equal of his legendary folkie brother, Christy Moore.” ~ Sydney Morning Herald

One of Ireland’s most respected contemporary folk artists, Bloom continues to push the boundaries of what his music can do. A master interpreter, he has continued to balance original songs with reinventions of tunes by a diverse range of songwriters.

Like many who write songs, Luka’s orchestra of choice is the guitar. What makes his career a little different is his constant search for a new voice within the guitar. The guitar is the landscape on which the song is created, and he is forever probing that landscape for new inspiration. No effects, no gadgets.

Time, effort and a whole lot of love bring forth new voicings within the instrument, and bit by bit, the songs come to life, and eventually they fly, bringing Luka with them to be heard in Byron Bay, San Francisco, Hamburg, or even Portstewart. Prepare yourselves for a special evening of pure songwriting including his new album Out of the Blue.
