Irish musician Luka Bloom returns in March 2013 for his 11th Australian tour to celebrate his career which has spanned over two decades.
An internationally acclaimed singer‐songwriter, and recording artist; Luka Bloom has enjoyed twenty two years of success all over the world. Since the release his classic debut album “Riverside” in 1990, people from all the nooks and crannies of the globe have taken the beauty of Luka Bloom into their hearts and minds.
Not one to slow down or rest on the laurels of the past Bloom puts his musical journey in perspective " I'm allergic to nostalgia. Long nights reminiscing about the good old days are a bit of a yawn to me. Much more excited by the good new days, the next song, the next gig, the seed of the next record.... And yet, perhaps it's ok to press the pause button for a moment, and reflect a tiny bit on experiences over a period of time. Not dwell too long; just feel it again, pay respect to the places and the people. Say thank you to life for bringing me here. Say thank you to all the people who have shared the journey so far."
After spending a couple of years looking back on his long career with a reworking of his classics, Luka begins book 2 of his musical history with the new album titled THIS NEW MORNING. Taking the traditions of Irish musical storytelling and using the folk medium to comment on the issues of our time, Bloom leaves an archive for the next generation. He continues to shake up the genre with clever chord sequences and arrangements, while still retaining folk’s core values of story telling and commentary.
