Luke McMaster
With ringing endorsements from Motown icons like Lamont Dozier, who collaborated on Luke’s ICONS OF SOUL album, and Smokey Robinson who shouted him out on Twitter “Check out @lukemcmaster’s cover of my song ‘Ooh Baby Baby,’” adding, “Amazing job, Luke!” Luke confidently honours the Motown era that we know and love while crafting new soulful hits for the next generation.
Luke's upbeat energy makes it easy for the audience to naturally warm to him. His original songs, deeply influenced by early soul, are filled with irresistible, toe-tapping rhythms and catchy melodies. Audiences frequently sing along, especially when he breaks into favorite Motown hits like "My Girl" or "Signed, Sealed, Delivered, I'm Yours"!
Luke's live concert, which scales from intimate acoustic performances to 6-pc band, is an audience-pleasing blend of original tunes in his signature neo-soul/pop style paired with favourite soulful classics.
