Jack Lukeman, usually simply known as Jack L, is an Irish singer, songwriter and musician, and a native of Athy, Co. Kildare. With a string of albums and singles released over the years, Jack L is best known for his live performances, and has been quoted as saying, "live shows are my life source, and where I feel most alive".
He became popular in Ireland in the late nineties with his 1999 album 'Metropolis Blue'. He released three singles from this album, including the hugely succesful 'Georgie Boy', 'Ode to Ed Wood' and 'Rooftop Lullaby'.
This was followed in 2001 by the album 'Universe'. Hotpress' John Walshe had the following to say, "It is as if his older albums were made in black and white and Universe has been recorded in glorious technicolour". Jack also appeared with Nick Cave and writer Patrick McCabe in a series of performances mixing spoken word, poetry reading and song.
His powerfully expressive vocals have been compared to such disparate types as David Bowie, Tom Waits, and Frank Sinatra, comparisons that Lukeman himself is unhappy with, preferring to be seen as something unique.
