Chart topping Anglo-Irish singer-songwriter
Luke Concannon has early memories of falling asleep at Irish family parties to the sound of guitars, singing, and dancing. He’s been playing music in community ever since.
Lead singer and co-writer with number one chart act Nizlopi (best known for the “JCB Song”) who deeply influenced a young Ed Sheeran; Luke is now a solo artist, whose 2022 album Ecstatic Bird In The Burning debuted at number twelve in the UK and US folk charts and received rave reviews.
Support comes from Sadie Gustafson-Zook.
Sadie Gustafson-Zook‘s hummable melodies balance with witty lyrics and intricate guitar playing to create charmingly honest and relatable music. A skilled performer, Sadie’s writing tackles internal and taboo subjects while holding your attention with warmth and levity. Her most recent album Where I Wanna Be (2024), takes the listener along on an intimate analog-recorded journey as she decides where to call home.
