Artist Biography
You don't have to read a book to know that fingerprinting is only compulsory for criminals. But first they must be caught, and let’s face it, Luke Doucet is the ultimate catch. Yet with nothing more than his weathered axe and a pocket full of songs, he continues to outwit his pursuers, living very much outside the law. Those are Luke's prints all over town, great inky smears on the sides of buildings and along the frames of doors. All of them clues to what he means to do, what he always does, what Luke truly is: a magician really. A thief of his caliber can be nothing less. He casts his songs like spells, opening your chest as if by its own volition, stealing your heart right out of cage. Download full bio (PDF, 298.46 kB) Current Release: Blood's Too Rich
