right touches of down home humor, causing one concert-goer to label
him “equal part Robert Frost, William Least Heat-Moon and Jeff
Foxworthy!” His
seemingly boundless energy moves around, one moment in dancing
fingers, the next the impassioned delivery of a poignant lyric,
followed by a playful rhythmic foot stomp to keep time; here is a
man who clearly loves his work. |

| Luke Brindley | With his latest self-titled solo record, New Jersey raised DC-based Luke Brindley affirms his relevance among leading young singer/songwriters. Critics and fans are already responding with praise. The Washington Post called it “One of the year’s best roots-rock releases. Luke is not your typical rock star.
