“You may be exhausted with work, you may even kill yourself, but unless your work is interwoven with love, it is useless. To work without love is slavery.
“People throughout the world may look different or have a different religion, education, or position, but they are all the same. They are the people to be loved. They are all hungry for love.
“… It is easy to love the people far away. It is not always easy to love those close to us. It is easier to give a cup of rice to relieve hunger than to relieve the loneliness and pain of someone unloved in our own home. Bring love into your own home for this is where our love for each other must start. “

Headlining show at The Barns at Wolf Trap just announced! April 22, 2010. Get tix now. This will sell out! http://bit.ly/6ClnOu
I’m writing this from the van on the way to Saint Louis. Don’t worry I’m not driving! We’re over halfway thru the tour with Rosi Golan and Peter Bradley Adams. Chip Johnson from The Alternate Routes has been joining me on bass and vocals for some of these out of town shows. I’ve incorporated a few songs from the new record into the set as well: “Lose You Now”, “We Go Together”, “Still Be There” and “Angeline”.
What an incredible hometown show at Jammin’ Java on Thursday! I wish we could do that every night! We’ve had some cool shows on the tour so far but nothing compares with the energy of the hometown crowd. I loved having Todd Wright and Jess Bennett back in stage with me. I haven’t felt that fulfilled and satisfied after a show in a long time. Lately I’ve been trying to just be myself more on stage - honest, vulnerabilities, “imperfections” and all. There’s nothing like the feeling of doing your job and coming away thinking “this is what I do and I just kicked butt doing it” you know?
There was a video crew there filming so we’ll have some footage for you soon. I see some fan videos have already been uploaded to YouTube.
The next big local show is a headlining CD Release show at The Barns at Wolf Trap April 22! This will sell out!! Get tickets now at wolftrap.org.
I’m going to spend the rest of the month and January writing and recording the new record. We’re also booking a series of house concerts so please consider hosting one. More about them here or email Barbara.
We’ve got a few more shows coming up on this tour so check out the shows page for details and please spread the word! Shows in Cincinatti, St Louis, Lousville, KY this week.
I’ve started a little blog about noteworthy road food from the perspective of a touring musician over at what-exit.com. Enjoy!
Peace!
Luke.
The last hometown show for 2009 is this Thursday at Jammin’ Java. It’s part of a two week tour I’m doing with the great Peter Bradley Adams and Rosi Golan. The shows have been going soooo good and I’m excited to bring it to my home base this week. Let’s pack the place! Get tickets here.
Also shows coming up in Philly, Hoboken, Easton, MD, Pittsburgh, Cleveland and more. Check the dates here.
If you’re in Northern Virginia check out the new issue of Northern Virginia Magazine for a cool article / interview about what we’re doing to raise money for the new record.
We’re booking a bunch of house concerts for Dec/Jan/Feb. You should have one! They are easy, free and always fun. More info here: http://lukebrindley.com/house.html
Here’s a free download for today. It’s called “Keep Me in Your Heart” ~ I hadn’t been playing for a while but was reminded of it when I had some requests to play it at shows. It’s from the self-titled record that came out two years ago. I remember writing most of it on one sitting one night when the power went out.
Enjoy and please spread the word!
