Luke Weltz Band

 1. Tell us a little about Luke Weltz Band...

- The Luke Weltz band is a Folk rock, Indie, Soul, and Blues band from

Western Pa. Luke Weltz founded the band August of 2020 shortly after beginning his

first album back in May of 2020. The band has a great amount of energy and can really

grasp an audience. They do some covers but their knockout punch as a band is their

original material. “Florina” is the title of the debut record that was done at Apple Eye

Studio. Sean Rugh (Sound engineer/ drummer) owns his own private studio with his wife

Brandie Servello in Slickville, Pennsylvania. He has also helped produce some of the

works off this upcoming 15 track LP. The album has a mix of songs and each song has a

different vibe. The music seems to relate across the spectrum of human emotions.

Luke Weltz has been a pianist for 19 years and also plays bass in the band.

The Luke Weltz Band is currently performing shows around Western, Pa. You can find

them on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok.

2. What kind of music do you play?

- The music ranges from Folk rock to Soul and Blues. The original content is

driven by Blues and Soul with some Folk rock and a 90’s touch. . It’s hard to say which

genre the Luke Weltz Band Falls into. Covers include ones from Eric Clapton, Bad

Company, Audioslave, Tom Petty, Elton John, and more.

3. Where did your love of music come from?

- I began playing music when I was 8 years old. My love came from watching my

grandmother play. She was an organist and member of the church choir. I could see the relief and

joy she would get from playing music and I wanted to experience those emotions. Since then I

have developed a great bond with music and how it makes me feel. I was lucky to have someone

in my family who played music. It inspired me to pursue music going forward.

5. Where can we get your music from?

- Once the record is available people can find it on Apple Music, Spotify, Sound Cloud,

6. Words of wisdom to future musicians?

- I would say get through the years where you are going to have failure and make

mistakes. It’s miserable. It’s not fun but it is necessary for your development as an

artist. Also accept who you are. With a very distracting world out there it can be

easy to forget why you’re doing what you’re doing. Developing purpose, passion,

mental fortitude, determination, and humility will help you tremendously.

I would also say take care of your body. Don’t let the night life take years off your

health. Get into your health. The physical stress will help you manage mental

stress with time. I couldn’t tell you how many musician I’ve seen that are

tremendous on stage but also like alcohol, bad food, and other things associated

with inflammation. You control it so it should be easy. Right?
