April 8th Luke Winslow-King Live at Churchill School

April 8th

Luke Winslow-King blends jazz, blues, classical, and folk into a powerful, cinematic sound. With fluid guitar work, fearless songwriting, and gruff yet tender vocals, his music leaves a lasting impression.

Originally hailing from Cadillac, Michigan, and now living in Spain, Winslow-King drank deeply from the wells of blues and rock, growing up immersed in Chess Records and classic rock radio. After a period of study in jazz guitar and classical composition, he picked up his instrument and lit out for the territories—busking on street corners with fellow musicians and performing Woody Guthrie’s “This Land Is Your Land.” He soon fell in love with New Orleans, where he spent more than fifteen years honing his craft on the streets, studying with mentors “Washboard” Lissa Driscoll and John Boutté, and forming a lifelong musical partnership with guitarist Roberto Luti.

As a songwriter, Winslow-King refuses to force songs into fixed musical molds. Instead, he works to remain open to sudden flashes of inspiration—attentive to the muse when she calls. He carries this philosophy into the studio as well, striving to stay present and let the song reveal itself. Allowing room for spontaneity, the band imagines the audience in the room, bringing each song to life with the aim of setting listeners afire.
