Luke Soasey

Born: October 8, 1975

Luke is an Oregon native — transplanted to the northern Colorado foothills in the spring of 2012 to follow a work opportunity, the lure of adventure, and sunshine. By day he is a member of a dedicated team of engineers working on the next generation of microprocessors. By night (or any other time that seems appropriate for music) he is playing saxophone to express, compose, improve, or perform. Relocating to Colorado meant re-building a network of musical connections and relationships that he had already established after almost two decades in Portland. Now, in and around Fort Collins, he can already be heard performing in a variety of local jazz groups. From a relatively young age music has been a core element of Luke's life path

Braxton Cook

Born: March 27, 1991

"I feel a lot," says Braxton Cook, the genre-shifting musician. "I'm a deeply emotional person. I just love. You know what I mean? Like, I love my family. I love my people. I love my friends. I love music. I have a belief that things can and will be better." His latest album, Who Are You When No One Is Watching? (out February 24, 2023, Nettwerk Music Group) holds up a mirror to ourselves and the society around us. It's at once confrontational, thoughtful, sentimental. "People need to see themselves, to some degree. Even if I'm speaking about tragedy, there's still that glimmer of hope I infuse in my music." Which is to say, Who Are You When No One Is Watching? is also very much a thing of beauty.
