About Walker Lukens

In the past two and half years, Walker Lukens has released two EPs, an album, a 7 inch and played some 130 shows in four countries and 25 states. You probably didn't know that because Walker was not always good at using the Internet. You might know that his most recent album, Devoted, was released in April of 2013. Praised by NPR's All Songs Considered, American Songwriter, Billboard, MTV Hive, and Houston Chronicle and locally by Austin American Statesman, Austin Chronicle, and KUT's Texas Music Matters, Devoted is "…a masterful and expansive collection of progressive contemporary indie pop," according to the Houston Chronicle. As Robin Hilton from All Songs Considered put it, "We get so much music in, we fall in love with just the tiniest fraction of it really...so, I get this CD in by Walker Lukens... I listened to it, and it was so good. I listened to it, and I thought, 'I've got to listen to this again. Maybe I'm just in a really good mood.' And nope, it holds up. Even on my worst days, this is a fantastic record."

More recently, Lukens has put together a 5-piece backing band called The Side Arms. Having already shared stages with such national acts as Band Of Horses and Heartless Bastards, Walker Lukens & The Side Arms are making a name for themselves. "At one moment heartbreakingly soulful, the next barn burningly raucous, newcomer Walker Lukens' set had listeners in the palm of his hand," writes Austin Fusion Magazine.
