At first glance, youd be forgiven for dismissing 24-year-old Luke Leighfield (from Worcestershire, UK )as just another singer-songwriter with an acoustic guitar. Except his acoustic guitar is a piano. And his singer-songwriter tendencies have been usurped by huge soundscapes, where strings and brass fight to be heard against screaming rock guitars - a sound informed by a classically trained childhood and teenage years spent at underground punk rock shows. His tender moments recall the likes of Ben Folds and Coldplay while his loud moments enter the rock territory of bands like Queen and The Rocket Summer. In between his own musical endeavours, Luke has sessioned on piano and violin for numerous bands including Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly, The King Blues, Futures, Dry the River and Tellison, yet somehow found time to graduate from the University of Southampton with a degree in English and Music in 2009. Since then he has made ends meet by working as pallbearer, undertaker, barista and proofreader, while maintaining a secret career as an underground pop star. Luke Leighfield is feel -good, DIY, orchestral pop-rock at its finest.
