Luke Wade

Overview

Luke Wade describes himself as a pop singer/songwriter with strong Americana influences.

He was born April 14, 1983 in the small rural town of Dublin, Texas. He is the youngest of four siblings born to Texas-based artists Bob Stuth-Wade and Wanda Wade. Wade says that growing up a “peculiar person in a peculiar place” gave him a distinct music experience with the sights and sounds of country music, but having out-of-the-box hippy parents made for something truly unique.

“I didn’t fit in and so I did a lot of soul searching as a kid, and that molded my song writing experience.”

His father is an artist known for his expansive Texas landscapes and his mother is a dancer, painter, yoga instructor, and natural healer. Wade was drawn to music at an early age and began dancing at his mother’s dance studio when he was 2 years old and continued dancing until he was 12. His early memories of musical influences go back to his mother’s dance studio where he listened to old records while cleaning up for his weekly allowance. He says he vividly remembers fashioning a radio antenna out of aluminum foil and a clothes hanger to get a radio signal strong enough to pick up one of his favorite stations, The Edge, out of Dallas/Ft. Worth.
