Growing up in a large family in the small north central Ohio farm town of Shelby, Luke Wesley’s musical influences were all over the place. Today he has taken those musical influences and the percussive attack on piano to craft a decidedly unique modern brand of blue eyed soul. On his sophomore effort (Who Are We Kidding?), Luke set out to take his music in a matured direction with a collection of songs that groove and flow like his first record, but with a more concise lyrical style coupled with giant synth sounds. “When heard from the next room, Luke Wesley’s songs telegraph the bouncy sheen of the lightest Ben Folds or Marc Cohn numbers (or on trickier epics like “Ohio,” the Pianoman himself) – they’re bright, strutting, major-chord piano rockers that suggest an uncomplicated good time… His songs have a stately charm that draws listeners in. The production and arrangements are uncluttered, creating faithful reproductions of the singer’s popular solo gigs on New York’s Lower East Side.” iTunes Review. For more, go to www.lukewesley.com.
