Luke Redfield

Carl Jung felt that the purpose of human existence is to kindle a light of meaning in the mystery of being. Whether it's in the ethereal "Sand Hills" of Nebraska, a dark night of the soul in "Toledo, Ore.," or the open country of "West Texas," Luke Redfield’s music goes searching for that meaning in the vast expanse that is America.​

Called "soulful," "a talented gent," and "a young Bruce Springsteen," Redfield's music has been featured in A.V. Club, American Songwriter, Elmore Magazine, and elsewhere, while his songs have been heard in film and television, appearing on HBO, Showtime, and TMC.

California poet Teddy Macker says Luke Redfield is one of those rare artists who helps us see "that all is holy, that all is strange, that all is miracle.” Author Ken Wilber calls Redfield's recordings "leading-edge material.” Songwriter Anthony Ruptak says: “Luke is the only musician who, while watching him perform on stage, has brought me to tears.”

Themes: love, loss, renewal. The promise of spring after a long, harrowing winter. The Cowboy, the Underdog, the Mystic. Whitman’s multitudinous “I.”

A maestro of collaboration, Redfield has worked with Bill Baird, Dosh, Eyedea, Haley, Jeremy Ylvisaker (Andrew Bird), Gary Newcomb (Bill Callahan), Mike Lewis (Bon Iver), Josh Halpern (Shearwater), JT Bates (Taylor Swift), Sam Rae (Brandi Carlisle), engineer Tom Herbers (Low), producer Gary Calhoun James, and ambient guitarist Glenn E. Alexander to make his albums.
