Luke Redfield + Stephen Simmons
Luke Redfield is a trailblazing indie-folk musician from Minnesota. Born in Duluth like Bob Dylan, Redfield grew up under the influence of his country-western musician grandfather, for whom he wrote his first song, "Legend of Lloyd," at age 15 and thus began his troubadour journey.
Cutting his teeth on the streets of Minneapolis, Redfield honed his "Ragged-but-right" (A.V. Club) throwback sound under the banner of the storied music scene which has launched the careers of Dylan, Prince, and The Replacements.
Since then, Redfield has released 5 "Soulful folk" (Paste) albumsfeaturing a crackband of collaborators including members of Bon Iver, Joanna Newsom, and Andrew Birdwhile living and traveling across America and Europe.
A homeless drifter on the West Coast, an avid busker in the Rocky Mountains, a desert hermit in the Southwest, Redfield alchemizes his life on the road into "simply stunning" (Heroes of Indie Music) poetic ballads and "sweetly warm" (City Pages) expressions of love.
2015 included two releases: UNCOVER THE MAGICfeaturing the touching narrative, "Comeback Kids," a song about a small-town American band with a dreamand THE CARTOGRAPHER, which is "Playful like a young Bruce Springsteen" (Boulder Weekly) "with echoes of homeboys Dylan and Mason Jennings." (Minneapolis Star Tribune)
Redfield has appeared at festivals such as South By Southwest while playing some 500+ shows (mostly self-booked in true working-class fashion) over the past decade. Sharing the stage with Marissa Nadler, Gregory Alan Isakov, Cory Chisel, and many others, Redfield's live shows are always heartfelt.
Fellow songwriter Anthony Ruptak on the experience: "Luke Redfield is the only musician who, while watching him perform live, has brought me to tears." Rogue Valley's Chris Koza: "Redfield's music is for the wanderer who finds himself far from the trail, discovering that the light at the end of the tunnel is actually within oneself."
A unique artist and rare breed of storyteller, "Luke Redfield manages to take songs about locations all over the world, as well as people past and present, and make them feel so familiar." (No, The Moon Ain't Romantic)
