We all end up where we end up. And if we're lucky, we find some people to play music with. The Ruralists are a band born out of necessity, out of picking the best available options in a small town. Nine times out of ten, that's pretty bad, the fodder for a short-lived bar band. But this is different. Luke's songs are different. Bringing in the urgency of life lived and yearned for. And the rhythm section is different. Interpreting and living into not just the beats, but the meaning. And then all those guitars, telling the story thrice. Toss in a pipe organ, some random brass, and an occasional electro beat, and, well, it's the Ruralists. Everything you didn't know you needed.
