Luke Winslow King has lived roughly equal chunks of his life in the forests of northern Michigan and in the sweaty cultural crucible of New Orleans, and both show prominently in his music. Even as his albums and shows reach ever-larger international audiences, King has been playing more and more shows close to home, making him somehow both a local artist and an international one. Informed by a life filled with twists and turns, his Americana stew and prodigious guitar skills are never less than impressive. Albums available: Luke Winslow-King (2007), Old/New Baby (2009), The Coming Tide (2013), Everlasting Arms (2014), I'm Glad Trouble Don't Last Always (2016), and Blue Mesa (2018).
