With over 15 years on stage, including support slots for Patti Smith, Keb’ Mo’, Taj Mahal, and PUR, as well as three nominations for the German Blues Challenge (2023–2025), LUKE has honed his sound across four releases. On Modern Blues Trio, he strips it down to the essentials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eTogether with Elmar Federkeil (drums) and Stefan Engelmann (bass), LUKE carries on the tradition of iconic blues trios such as the John Mayer Trio, Robben Ford \u0026amp; The Blue Line, and Stevie Ray Vaughan \u0026amp; Double Trouble. He remains true to his own signature style, blending the classic trio sound with influences from soul, rock, and pop, carried by his distinctive vocals and the characteristic, singing Stratocaster tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eMost of the album was recorded live in the studio. Instead of being built up layer by layer on a computer, the tracks are based on the trio’s actual performances: guitar and vocals, bass and drums, played and recorded together. This creates an energy and dynamism that is otherwise most commonly associated with live concerts. Thanks to its stripped-down trio lineup, Modern Blues Trio sounds rawer, bluesier, and more groove-oriented than its predecessors, without sacrificing catchy and varied songwriting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eTwo songs at opposite ends of the album demonstrate the full range of their sound: The soulful, pop-infused “If I Were You” represents the accessible side with modern songwriting that works just as well on the radio as it does in a live club. In contrast, the deeply blues-rooted “Dancing With The Blues” highlights the trio’s joy of improvisational playing and most directly captures what makes these three musicians so special live.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe album was recorded at KAHNELABS, the studio of renowned guitarist and producer Stefan Kahne, who has previously produced Andreas Kümmert, among others. The focus on the essentials and the musicians’ exceptional chemistry lend the songs a naturalness and intensity that define the album’s character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eModern Blues Trio showcases three seasoned musicians at their best—musicians who don’t preserve the blues but rather push its boundaries and consciously transcend genre limits. Modern blues: deeply rooted in tradition yet open to new directions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eLine up:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLukas Schüßler (Guitar, Vocals), Stefan Engelmann (Bass), Elmar Federkeil (Drums)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack listing:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none; mso-fareast-language: DE;\"\u003eDouble Trouble Boggie\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none; mso-fareast-language: DE;\"\u003eDancing With The Blues\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none; mso-fareast-language: DE;\"\u003eThey Don´t Remember My Name\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none; mso-fareast-language: DE;\"\u003eDoin´ It All For My Baby\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none; mso-fareast-language: DE;\"\u003eIf I Were You\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none; mso-fareast-language: DE;\"\u003eYou Keep Me Hanging On\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none; mso-fareast-language: DE;\"\u003eOn And On\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eIt Ain´t No Rock´n´Roll\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none; mso-fareast-language: DE;\"\u003eOpen Your Eyes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none; mso-fareast-language: DE;\"\u003eJoanna Is Gone\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none; mso-fareast-language: DE;\"\u003eDon´t Let Me Down\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArtist: LUKE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: LP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll songs were written by Lukas Schüssler except 'Don't Let Me Down' (Lennon-McCartney)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ON STAGE records GmbH","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56826569589060,"sku":null,"price":29.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0754\/9511\/3028\/files\/Frontcover.png?v=1780848954","url":"https:\/\/onstage-group.de\/en\/products\/luke-modern-blues-trio_lp-1","provider":"ON STAGE records GmbH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
