| Luke Mitchem, originally from Nevada, MO has released his third CD, Love, Laura and the Bomb. Predominately within the folk music genre, the CD is described as having hints of alternative country, indie rock and even gospel. It comes only three years after the release of his first album, It Won't Last Forever and the musician/songwriter is ready to take it on the road to venues throughout Tennessee, Missouri and Colorado and other places.
Mitchem's love for music was inspired by his parents whose own musical tastes varied from Bruce Springsteen to Jim Croce. As he grew, his own tastes preferred the likes of Counting Crows, Live, Damien Rice, Shawn Mullins and even Ryan Adams who fronted Whiskeytown. With the influence of Johnny Cash, Mitchem's music also took on a combination of folk, blues, country and gospel.
