A student of all musical styles, Luke Thomas mixed his love of rock music with an education in jazz and classical music. While living in California, he co-founded the jazz/punk outfit the Angry Philosophers, collaborated with singer/songwriter Phoenix in forming AfterBuffalo, and started his own trio, LT3. After relocating to Los Angeles in the summer of 2008, Luke joined experimental rockers eEnik, and and continues to be an in-demand sideman, composer, and session player.
