Sandcastles

Describes the breakdown of a lost relationship - the beauty and captivation of a woman through to heartbreak and fragility ending with confusion and a searching mind. Ambient and infectiously moving - helium balloons lifting you up and floating you away. 
Luke's second EP 'Shelter & Rain' is a creation of beautiful music fusing dreamy ambience, acoustic folk and emotive lyrics. Let yourself be enchanted on a journey that reflects on dreams, love, loss & heartache.

Forest By The Sea

Cold is about wanting to feel at home again, trying to find that space when you feel completely calm and connected. Finding that is exciting, heart breaking, loving, terrifying and rewarding. Processing the events that occur in your and keeping on the hunt for home. Acoustic ambience building to a catchy chorus ending.

This song is about 3 significant events in my life.
The loss of of school friends to suicide.
The divorce of my parents.
The beauty and breakdown of my previous relationship.
Sometimes we're tucked away from the elements in a cosy place living life happily and then sometimes we’re left out in the world completely exposed too all the elements.

Shelter & Rain

Garden jar is about a mental break down and trying to meet expectations instead of living by your own.

'On My Own' is about finding out who you are and accepting that with love and humility after a change of circumstance. 

It has a gentle beginning that draws out the guitar and vocal slowing building momentum in the back half of the song into an upbeat energy just like growing confidence and love after you begin to trust in the universe again. 

Lyrically it expresses the separation & confusion followed by the realisation of a new beginning and where that could lead is up to the listener.

On My Own

Luke Marshall is a singer-songwriter and visual artist based in Port Lincoln, Australia. Drawing on emotions, nature’s beauty and experiences his music can be best described as Dreamy Alternative Folk. Born in Central Australia and growing up in a coastal town, there has always been a strong connection with the land and sea. Having a natural understanding of how powerful sounds and words can be, songwriting became a way to express emotion and process the world around him.

Travelling through Europe, Luke was captivated by street performers and musicians and the profound effect art can have on us. This experience inspired Luke to continue writing and begin sharing his music with the world leading to his first EP, ‘Forest By The Sea’ (Sept, 2015).	 
   
Inspired by artists City and Colour, Gregory Alan Isakov, Bonobo and Ry X, Luke’s live performance is intimate & enchanting with open expressions of love, loss & vulnerability creating a dream state connection. 

Luke says: “Performing live for people is such an elevating experience, being able to tell a story and transcend communication barriers. Music is a powerful energy that is shared by the performer and audience, an energy that is beautiful and unique to each show” 

In 2018 Luke was awarded a Recording Grant by the SA State Government which allowed him to travel to Berlin and record his second EP, ‘Shelter & Rain’ with hometown friend Lucas Laufen. 

He celebrated the release with a National Headline tour over the 2018/19 Aussie summer. Since releasing his first single in 2015, his music has been streamed over 17,500 times on Spotify from 1,100 different listeners across 45 different countries. 

He has received 4 star reviews on Triple J Unearthed, radio airplay across the country & sold out his Adelaide Fringe Show ‘Shelter & Rain’ in 2019 (which received 4/5 stars from This is Radelaide). To top it off he received a nomination for The People's Choice Award (Folk Artist) for the 2019 and 2020 South Australian Music Awards. 

2020 saw Luke embark on his first International Headline Tour, with gigs booked across India, Europe and the US with Sofar Sounds and local venues. However the world had other plans so he returned home and set up a studio at his Dad’s house and recorded, mixed and produced his debut record ‘It’s A Place I Know’. The LP is will be available on the 9th of October, 2020.
