Luke Trimble - Capturing the Life of Appalachia
from Top Hill Recording Podcast · host Neil Johnstone/Brad Weston
The son of educators, grandson of laborers, Luke Trimble is a story teller capturing the life of Appalachia. A mix of bluegrass, folk, and country, Trimble’s music is made of memory - his own memory of growing up in Paintsville, Kentucky; the memory of rich cultural Appalachian history; and an instinctive Eastern Kentucky memory, passed down through family lore or, maybe, in the water that rolls in between the hills. Today, Luke resides in Lexington, Kentucky where he continues to create melodies, and write songs that describe the narrative of his roots.
