We leave in one week. I am super excited for working with Kevin. It will be a completely new experience for me. But one that I think will be more than rewarding. We are shooting for 8-10 songs and tracking for the most part all live. Recently a good friend and great guitar player Time Torgerson joined the recording band. Check out his site here: www.myspace.com/timtorgerson

So the recording lineup will be myself, Tony(drums), Phil(bass), Jacy(BGV’s) and Tim(guitars). I am looking forward to what Kevin pulls out of us in the studio.

Check out “TONITE”, a new song played at the Wilma theater in Missoula, MT.  The song’s deals with the thought that people are all the same, despite the skin color or geography. Despite the circumstances one grew up in,  people’s hearts want the same things no matter what time you live in or what level of material possesion’s you live with…..the soul needs something………  ‘We are all here, we are all still alive.’ So where do we go from here?

Tonight - Luke Dowler - Wilma Theater from Luke Dowler on Vimeo.

Behind the song “STAY (Don’t Leave)” is the idea of a broken relationship where one person has betrayed the other yet the person betrayed still asks the other to stay.  I recorded the song in my home studio as a demo and I got such a good response that I decided to make it available for anyone who would want it.  It hits ITUNES in less than two weeks…….  Stay tuned for the release!

Lately I have been staying up until 3-4 am working in my writing studio. I have written 17 songs to choose from for the upcoming album. I am tentatively calling the album “At the Risk of Being Broken”. I am actually very excited about each of the songs that I have written. The songs that don’t make the album will make it onto a future project I am sure……..hopefully you like them too.

I will be opening up for TYRONE WELLS at the Wilma Theater in Missoula, MT on April 16th. Tickets can be found at Rocking Rudy’s in ZooTown. I think its gonna be a lot of fun. Thanks to 103.1 The River in the Flathead Valley for the support!! Listen in for free tickets next week

Its been said lately that I look like Michael Bolton. I don’t see it.

DISCLAIMER:   I AM NOT MOVING TO NASHVILLE.  IT WAS AN APRIL FOOLS DAY JOKE.  ALSO THERE IS NO SANTA CLAUSE AND I VOTED FOR STEPHEN COLBERT FOR PRESIDENT. THAT IS ALL.

Please sun, stay around………Just finished up a string of shows from Twin Falls, Idaho to Hamilton, Montana.  The Salmon River is amazing. All the way up highway 93 it was nothing but sun, elk, buffalo, deer, mountain goats, sheep, geese, and river. Here is a sweet pic that shows how sweet it was.

On friday we played in Great falls and again had a good time.  In the morning we stopped by the Charlie Russell art show.  There was lots of sweet cowboy art.  One artisan was also a luthier and had made a custom guitar, modeled after a telecaster.  Swanson guitars…..He had carved an eagle in to the body of the guitar.  It played good, and looked amazing.  His next project is a rattlesnake version.  I am looking forward to seeing that.

Everybody needs to be encouraged; and last night was a classic case of a great crowd doing just that.  Last night Tony, Matt, Jacy and I were in Billings, MT. Read More »
