Luke Concannon (Top-of-the-Charts Artist!) Concert

Well... THIS IS AMAZING! Luke Concannon is back from touring in Europe and is headed to our lil local music venue November 14th at The Mill at Shelburne Falls at The Permaculture Place!!!!!

We're delighted to welcome the chart-topping artist for an evening of life-affirming music, beautiful singing/songwriting, and uplifting joy!

Luke Concannon best known for being lead singer and co-writer of Nizlopi’s ‘JCB song’ (UK and Irish No1 record) and being Ed Sheeran’s songwriting ‘Hero’ is touring his recent Album Midnight Bloom around England and New England this Autumn. If you value joy, connection, art of integrity, and great songwriting this might be the event for you.

From Luke: "I love the permaculture place; a community dedicated to growth learning and respect for all, that fits well with my songs. It’s a wonderful place to make music with such welcoming people, and I’m happy that it will also be a fundraiser for this ecological learning hub."

These fundraiser shows support for our local non profit permaculture resource center and demonstration gardens in the Village of Shelburne Falls ~ native pollinator habitats, edible perennials. We are fundraising for a better outdoor stage at The Mill in Shelburne Falls, as well as for continued care of the Riverside Garden Walk and  a food forest at the Town Park!

More about Luke:

Luke Concannon has early memories of falling asleep at Irish family parties to the sound of guitars, singing, and dancing; he’s been making music in community ever since: Upon meeting double-bassist John Parker in school, the two formed the folk hip-hop duo Nizlopi (best known for the “JCB Song”), selling a million records in their twenties and deeply influencing a young Ed Sheeran (who interned with them).

Invigorated by a hitch-hiking trip to Palestine, Luke wrote his first solo album ‘Give it all’ kindling the fire for a solo singer-song writer career. Luke followed his love, the singer Stephanie Hollenberg, to the United States and they married in 2019. Stephanie wrote the Chamber musical ‘At Love’s Hearth’ and performs and teaches around the world, often with Luke.

Ecstatic Bird in the Burning, Luke’s 2022 album debuted at no12 in the folk charts on both sides of the Atlantic (with a no7 single ‘Doing Nothing’) and garnered rave reviews.

A pandemic collaboration with multi-instrumentalist composer Darius Christian (Macklemore/Leslie Odom Jr) lead to the singles ‘What would you change’, ‘Brother’ (a dialogue between a Ukrainian and Russian soldier) and ‘Dance with you’ (with a joyful global community made video). A new album is recently out, along with recent UK stadium tours. Luke and Stephanie now resides in a Yurt on Abenaki land in Vermont with wonderful neighbours, and a parliament of bard owls.
