Luke Vassella

 
   

"Sincere & powerful...."

A captivating performer of rare quality & a gifted songwriter. Luke has earned his reputation over the past twelve years, articulating a sense of longing that has endeared him to many audiences. Sincere & powerful, Luke has been known to reach that place within the listener that can be moved and inspired.

Luke has been entertaining people, playing guitar, singing and writing songs for most of his life; professionally since 1997. During this time he has played over a 1500 gigs, earning a reputation as a quality performer both in Australia and Europe.

His career highlights have been many and varied and include:

  • Playing support to Savage Garden (1998), Wendy Mathews (1998), Troy Cassar Daley (2001), Alex Lloyd(2002), The Beautiful Girls(2006)

  • Releasing five original CD's,

  • Winning the 2003 Maitland Music Awards with his song "We got something", Winning four NCEIA awards including Best Male Vocal

  • Making two successful trips performing in Europe; Copenhagen - 'The Old English Pub,' Stockholm - 'M/S Mariella', Austrian Alps - 'Bunny's Pub', London - 'The Spice of Life' (Shaftesbury Ave)

As a solo performer, Luke creates a unique atmosphere; using a blend of guitar, harmonica, stomp box and voice. His current album, "Foreign Language", released in May 2005, is his finest work to date.

"Making this album has been a labour of love; a natural, organic experience. Having Christian Pyle producing has been fantastic, I'm a fan of his work and I love what he's brought out in the songs. It's also been a privilege to have some of my favourite musicians play on different tracks. this is the most exciting album I've done..."

The songs are stories from four years on the road, thick with places and people, and some reflections on human nature.

"Music can touch people at a primal level - evoking different emotions and triggering memories of particular places and times. 

Music is such a part of our emotional makeup - it can make you patriotic, it can make you want to fight,

it can make you want to cry"
