Musician

Luke Bergman

Luke Bergman is a multi-instrumentalist, vocalist and recording artist based in Seattle, WA. His voice, bass and guitar work have been utilized in groups he writes for like Heatwarmer as well as sideperson work with Bill Frisell, Cuong Vu, Andrew Bird and others. His output as a solo artist focuses on his arranging abilities of jazz, folk and pop repetoire. He's made an album of solo guitar, and multiple albums that feature his pedal steel guitar playing. His most recent release, "Worx," is a home-recorded collection of ten original compositions. Recording all the instruments he plays, the album focuses on contrapuntal melodies and creative orchestration and has the feeling of the soundtrack of "Donkey Kong Country as a Hallmark movie."

Read "Change In The Air" reviewed by Dan McClenaghan

Carmen Rothwell: The Art of Intuition

Read "Carmen Rothwell: The Art of Intuition" reviewed by Paul Rauch


Seattle, a city synonymous with alternative rock, has long sustained a provincial jazz culture, without a signature sound, but with an openness to innovative, progressive invention.
