Luke Roberts

Luke Roberts is a Nashville-based singer-songwriter known for his deeply personal yet universal take on music, often described as "redemptive blues." Growing up in East Nashville, Roberts’ early years were marked by a search for freedom and self-discovery, which shaped his raw and honest songwriting. His music paints a picture of his travels and life experiences, from wandering the roads of the U.S. to living in places like Cambodia, Thailand, and Kenya. This journey has deeply influenced his sound and the themes he explores, such as liberty, heartbreak, and hope.

Roberts has released several albums, including *The Iron Gates at Throop and Newport* and *Sunlit Cross*, the latter inspired by his time in Kenya and featuring collaborations with artists like Kurt Vile. His songs resonate with listeners through their honest storytelling and sparse, contemplative arrangements. Known for living modestly—from trailer living in Montana to farming in Tennessee—Roberts continues to carve out a unique space in the folk and blues-inspired music world, creating soundtracks to both personal introspection and broader human experience.
