Luke Gale, a southern man at heart, is a self taught guitar player from Chicago. Although medicine is his career, he is ever so passionate about music. He has played with several groups in the Chicagoland area as well as in Charleston, Champaign and Bloomington, IL.  Luke’s sound and playing style, which often incorporate simultaneous lead and rhythm parts, draw comparison to no other. Hendrix, Vaughan, Reggie Wooten and Freddie King (another Texas bluesman), are amoung his musical influences. Another stylistic influence of Luke’s is Albert Collins. By utilizing his index finger as a pick a la Albert Collins, Luke is able to coax various tonal nuances from his amplifier. Luke plays a custom, handmade Brian Moore iM9 electric guitar, and a taylor acoustic/electric.
