Performer - Songwriter - Speaker
Luke Wallace is a dynamic force in the world of folk music, using his talent as a songwriter, speaker, and choral arranger to champion environmental causes and inspire positive change. Hailing from the Coast Salish Territory known as Vancouver, Canada, Luke has been on a decade-long journey of touring, recording, and organizing for the betterment of people and the planet.
In 2023, Luke took the global stage as a feature performer at the United Nations Water Conference, the first of its kind in a generation. With hundreds of concerts across North America under his belt, Luke has become a sought-after voice in the fight against climate change, spreading a message of hope and action through his music.
Luke's unique brand of politically charged folk has earned him a loyal following and a reputation as a modern-day Pete Seeger. From festivals to rallies to venues, Luke's music is a rallying cry for a movement of people rising up to meet the social and environmental challenges of our time. With his latest album, The Dandelion Resistance," Luke continues to push the boundaries of folk music and prove that art can be a powerful tool for change.
“Armed with folk, a little rap, call and response, a poet's gift and a voice to deliver it all, Luke is both an artist to listen and a hope for the future.”
- Gary Cristall, The Vancouver Folk Music Festival
“Luke Wallace very much loves and appreciates where he comes from: BC and the Coast Salish Territory, and he defends that territory in song with passionate style. Once you hear Luke Wallace, you can imagine how well his music goes over at the folk festivals he plays. As a coastal kid myself, Luke's music certainly stirs my emotions as well. He's a true West Coast gem.”
