LUKE MAYNARD ● DESOLATION SOUND

Luke's ambitious début CD, DESOLATION SOUND, is a double-length folk/roots album with a concept. Tying the public & private struggles of small-town Canadians to the traditions of the folk festival scene that fed his wide-ranging musical education, Desolation Sound chronicles the rise and fall of two important chapters of Canada's history & heritage.

Written, performed, recorded, engineered, and produced alone, Luke's first commercial release is a milestone years in the making. Stepping out of his role as a sideman, Luke lets his heartbreaking lyrics and emotive acoustic guitar do the heavy lifting on this prodigious, precocious album of vintage-style folk music brought forward for a new generation.

For those who love the feel of a CD in their hands, the slick retro look of a vinyl-themed spinny disc, or the pleasure of holding the liner notes in your hands, I still have a limited run of compact discs available. Barring unprecedented demand, this is the first and last time Desolation Sound will exist on physical media. Get it while you can!

CDs are available in the US through Amazon; for Canadians and international listeners, contact me directly and I'll make it happen.
