Luke Ligtenberg

Building his fanbase to over 200 thousand worldwide views, Luke has come a long way since starting out as hungry 15Y/O kid rocking Wingham Akoostik Festival in its early days (2011). Fronting bands STRUK and The Swamp Stompers, Luke has grown with the festival and has had enthused audiences claim his high energy performances a crowd favourite. 

 Now as a One-Man-Band, Luke does it all. Guitar, vocals, live loops, foot percussion and didgeridoo.

Like an extension of his lanky limbs, each instrument is simultaneously wielded together, creating the individual blend of blues, folk and soft-surf-rock. 

 Born in Taree, Luke started gigging in the local area before his music journey took him around the world and almost back again, performing solo this year in California USA. His appearances on National Television have launched new song writing, recording and production opportunities which Luke enjoys working on from his Home Studio in Tuncurry. 

 Luke is a Proficient high school Music Teacher who has hosted guitar and didgeridoo Workshops, performed at Yoga classes and mentored musicians. Some will know him as Mr Ligtenberg, others as a friend or relative. If you haven’t heard of him, be sure not to miss this unique performance at Wingham Music Festival.
