About Luke Concannon:

Luke Concannon has early memories of falling asleep at irish family parties to the sound of guitars, singing, and dancing. he has been making music in community ever since. upon meeting double-bassist john parker in school, the two formed the folk hip-hop duo nizlopi (best known for the ‘jcb song’), selling a million records in their twenties and deeply influencing the young ed sheeran who interned with them. through the strain of recording and touring world-wide with a small family-run label, nizlopi parted ways.

Invigorated by a hitch-hiking trip to palestine, luke wrote his first solo album, ‘give it all,’ kindling the fire for a solo singer-songwriter career. ‘ecstatic bird in the burning,’ luke's 2022 album, debuted at number 12 in the folk charts on both sides of the atlantic, including a number 7 single, ‘doing nothing,’ and garnered rave reviews:

“CONCANNON DAZZLES … FOLK MUSIC WITH A LITTLE EXTRA SOMETHING.” – DANCING ABOUT ARCHITECTURE

A pandemic collaboration with multi-instrumentalist composer Darius Christian  (Macklemore/Leslie Odom Jr) led to the singles ‘What Would You Change,’ ‘Brother,’ and ‘Dance with You.’ These and more appear on Luke and Darius's new album, ‘Midnight Bloom’ (2025).

Luke followed his love, Stephanie Hollenberg, to the United States in 2016. Stephanie is a singer, creator, and spiritual caregiver, and frequently performs alongside Luke. Luke, Stephanie and their wee babe reside on Abenaki land, in a yurt in the Vermont woods with wonderful neighbours and a parliament of bard owls.

“Luke is one of my three main heroes, along with Van morrison and Damien Rice.” – Ed Sheeran
