Luka Bloom plays The Stephen Talkhouse
« Long Island Comedy Showcase at Suffolk Theater
"The German Doctor" at Sag Harbor Cinema »
With a poet's heart and a rockster's soul, Luka Bloom is regarded as one of Ireland's best-respected contemporary folk artists, having produced 20 albums since the 1970s.
Bloom continues to push the boundaries of what his music can do, and the 2012/13 Heartman Tour proves he is still making provocative, poetic music that delves deep into the intricacies of the human soul and pulls out the nuggets and puts them in a song.
Like many who write songs, Luka's orchestra of choice is the guitar. What makes his career a little different is his constant search for a new voice within the guitar. The guitar is the landscape on which the song is created, and he is forever probing that landscape for new inspiration.
No effects, no gadgets. Time, effort and a whole lot of love bring forth new voicings within the instrument, and bit by bit, the songs come to life. And eventually they fly, bringing Luka with them to be heard in Byron bay, San Francisco, Hamburg, or even Doolin.
Opening act Alfredo Merat warms up the stage beginning at 7 p.m.
Tickets are available online here.
