“Seamlessly melds delta blues, gospel, and jazz themes with personal, simplified lyrics that speak to his personal and artistic evolution.”– New York Times.

Luke Winslow-King, originally from Cadillac, Michigan, is a career rock & roll guitarist, singer, producer, songwriter. Having spent more than 15 years in New Orleans, and recording his 2008 album (Old/New Baby) at Preservation Hall, he was named ‘Best Blues Artist’ by Gambit Magazine. His 2018 hit, ‘I’m Glad Trouble Don’t Last Always’ is nearing 10 million streams on Spotify. He was named a voting member of the Grammy Recording Academy in 2022.

Now living in Calatayud, Spain, he continues to pursue his global quest; delivering honest, powerful, rustic, and authentic peoples’ music by stage and recording alike. His alchemical songs blend contemporary ideas with styles from bygone eras producing a sound that is rustic and urbane, elegant and entirely his own. In addition to cutting seven studio records in the last decade, Luke has toured extensively in North America and Europe, appearing on notable stages such as Austin City Limits, New Orleans JazzFest, Azkena Rock Festival (Spain), Tønder Festival Paradiso (Netherlands), Maverick Festival (UK), and countless more.

We are so happy to welcome him back to the Island for the Music in the Park. Free Admission
