Luke Stamenkovich’s "Live In Concert" is an exciting and fun album that has something for every musical palette
Luke Stamenkovich is excited to announce the release of his live album, which was recorded last November at his EP Launch at the Milk Bar Perth (Civic Hotel). The album features all the tracks from Stamenkovich’s EP alongside some covers that were performed live with Stamenkovich’s band and guest singers featured throughout the show. The diversity in covers complement Stamenkovich’s instrumentals and the high level of musicianship by the plethora of musicians that joined Stamenkovich onstage.
"Performing my instrumentals live was something that I never though would happen, so when I decided to do a show I really went all out with production and decided to record the show. I worked on a good blend of covers to mix in with my instrumentals to create an entertaining show to cater for everyone, it was an amazing night that I'll never forget and now I can share it with the world to show them what " Luke Stamenkovich" show is like. This album is a celebration of music and the love for playing music live" - Luke Stamenkovich
