You can also click on the “schedule” page and see all the current bookings. The website will remain our primary location for you to see current and future scheduled events. www.LukeDeuceMusic.com

Music- Currently, we have 5 songs in process, as we continue our focus on writing. So be looking for plenty of new originals! Weekly writes continue and we’ll be back in Nashville the end of Feb.

Live- We played some new venues in January, a huge thank you to Mills River Brewing Company, Stumphaus Taproom and The Ranch. We had a blast! And greatly appreciate every showing up!

CCMA- Carolina Country Music Awards was a fun night! It was great to meet so many new people in the business, and an honor to be nominated among them.

I can’t say enough how much I appreciate and am grateful I am for fans, venues, and supporters. I promise you… this is going to be a very big year! There’s a lot going on behind the scenes and Luke Deuce Music, continues to grow and gain steam! But none of the work comes to fruition without you!

Thank you!

2024 - Upcoming Events

Changes are coming, and there will be more venues to perform at. Here's what to expect:

​

Writing:
I will continue to write and produce music from Nashville, and will release as many songs as possible.

​

Schedule:
The best way to keep track of my schedule is through my website. Although I will post on social media, Facebook events only reach a small number of followers unless we "boost" the events. We will pin the schedule for each month on social media, but the website will be the main calendar for everyone.

​

Venues/Shows:
I will perform at several solo shows this year and hopefully be part of more singer/songwriter events. Here are some of the venues that have already booked me for the year:

• Smiley's on the Roxx

• Southernside Brewing

• Silo's Brewing

• Your Pie Dockside

• Two Rivers Public House

• Twice A town

• Pub Blue

Please let your favorite venues know that we are filling dates quickly.

​

Lights:
In 2024, we will have new lighting equipment. Thanks to a generous gift from a super fan, we will have access to DMX lighting fixtures that include lasers and AI lighting control. We can't wait to put it to use!

​

Remaining shows this month:

12/14 Smileys (solo)

12/15 Two Rivers Public House (solo)

12/16 Golden Grove (duo)

12/20 Southcack (duo)
