Luke Mulholland

Boston blues-rockers The Luke Mulholland Band have a busy schedule in the upcoming months, touring the East Coast in November and joining Southern rock concert favorites Sister Hazel on their December tour, with dates in Minneapolis, Milwaukee and Chicago. Fronted by lead guitarist and vocalist Luke Mulholland, who was described as “incredible” by Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora, the band creates a scintillating brand of classic-style rock and blues that “channels Eric Clapton and Jeff Healey,” according to the Boston Globe. Mulholland will be appearing on WFXT Boston’s Fox 25 Morning News Friday, November 14.

At age 19, Luke Mulholland can already easily boast of an accomplished career. Having recorded his first album by himself at age 14, he has gone on to record three more full-length albums. He has opened for rock legends such as Bon Jovi and Mountain in addition to headlining shows in the US and Canada. Recently, the young musician was asked to provide the new theme song to syndicated radio program The Joey Reynolds Show. As Luke recently reported, “I’ve never been more inspired, and I’ve never been happier making my music.” All this is only the beginning, however - the future looks bright for this young talent, who is sure to become a legend himself in due time.

The Luke Mulholland Band is Luke Mulholland - guitar, vocals, Chris Murphy - bass and Jayme Tardiff - drums, percussion.

Burlington, MA – Rounder Records is pleased to announce the signing of the 5-piece southern California rock band, Delta Spirit. Rounder will release their much-anticipated debut album, Ode to Sunshine late summer/early fall of 2008.

The raw spirit of indie rockers the Walkmen and Spoon. An amplified, rocking version of 60’s protest folk. The soulful passion of the Violent Femmes and the Waterboys. All of these comparisons have been made in attempts to describe Delta Spirit, the southern California 5-piece who might just be one of the most important new bands of the decade.

Each description contains elements of the truth, but the real answer to the question “who is Delta Spirit?” lies within Ode to Sunshine, the band’s captivating debut. The group’s DIY ethic shines throughout the album, whose songs were honed razor-sharp over a year of non-stop touring across America. Opening sold-out tours for Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Cold War Kids, and Dr. Dog, the band developed a riveting live show and gained a loyal following amongst tastemaker music fans, earning them invites to national festivals like Austin City Limits, Noise Pop and Sasquatch. So it would not be an understatement to call Ode to Sunshine one of the year’s most highly-anticipated debuts. But don’t take our word for it; in the words of Delta Spirit: “If you’re feeling what I’m feeling come on, all you soul searching people come on.”
