Cambridgeshire-based indie folk singer-songwriter Luke James Williams plays at Mary St Live in support of his much anticipated second album, ‘Limes Hotel’.
Luke James Williams is an indie-folk singer-songwriter from Cambridgeshire, UK. Releasing his debut EP 'Drove' in November 2018, Luke gained huge support from BBC6 Music DJ Tom Robinson who made 'Still In Bed' his 6 Music Recommends Track Of The Week in April 2019, later naming it his Track Of The Year So Far in July. The song was also played across the station by Lauren Laverne, Steve Lamacq and Tom Ravenscroft. Elsewhere, he has received airplay from Amazing Radio and BBC Introducing.
In July 2022, Luke released his "outstanding" (KLOF) debut album, 'Our Blood Is Red'. As well as picking up rave reviews from some of the biggest sites & publications on the indie & folk scenes, Bandcamp made the album one of their 'New & Notable' releases which attracted new followers from all four corners of the globe.
Luke has received glowing reviews for his captivating & emotive live performances & has supported artists such as Thea Gilmore, Mark Chadwick (Levellers), Charlie Dore & Megson. After performing at Cambridge Folk Festival, Autumn '22 saw him head out on his first UK headline tour. He has just released his second full-length album 'Limes Hotel' to glowing reviews.
Once described as “the James Taylor of the Fens,” he is known for crafting vivid, poetic songs delivered with a warmth, clarity and emotional honesty that is entirely his own.

"Gave me a shiver down my back, just like the first time I heard Nick Drake and The Lake Poets. Luke James Williams is the Real Deal" - The Rocking Magpie
