LUKE, the band of singer/songwriter Lukas Schüßler, who has been a winner of the German Rock and Pop Prize since 2019 and this year received the Culture Prize for Music from the Saarbrücken regional association, shows with its new album that these honors are justified.

In the songwriting, accents from blues, rock and soul merge with each other and wrap the blues genre in a modern guise.

The song "Whenever I Fall Asleep", which takes the listener with a piano intro, shows where Schüßler's musical roots lie: a touch of Americana, successful guitar background and soul influence. The focus is on his clear, rough voice with an often soulful touch, such as in the song "Into Deep". The instrumental, grooving basis of the song is also strong here, into which he first melts a subtle, short guitar solo in order to conclude the piece with a slightly longer solo, which gives the opportunity live to transition into a jam part .

Lukas Schüßler also shows the musical diversity in the dreamy "Memory Lane", with a folky touch, very soulful vocals and beautiful short interludes on the acoustic guitar.

With "Strange Boy In Town" LUKE has created an album that is just fun to listen to. With his songwriting he appeals to fans of the more quiet blues, soul and folk and gives himself the opportunity for longer improvisations with the arrangement of the pieces live. Anyone who can should enjoy the songs live. The album definitely helps with the waiting time, as it makes you want more.

Text: Gernot Mangold

LUKE is: Catchy and captivating songwriting, raw vocals, singing guitar licks and a unique mix of blues, rock, pop and indie! Free from any clichés and stereotypes, but always with the sound, energy and authenticity of the blues!
