Luke-Ham-Sandwich
Family Band
The mission of the Luke-Ham-Sandwich
Family Band is to bring glory and honor to the Lord while providing
fun-filled entertainment. They have won or placed in several Bluegrass
competitions including KSMU Youth in Bluegrass, Battle of the Bluegrass
Bands, and the Bluegrass Band Competition at Fiddler’s Feast in
Tennessee. Since their conception in 2003, they have performed over 400
concerts in the United States and Mexico. Their first CD “What Can I
Give Him” was released in August of 2005. The second CD “Smile”
features many original songs and was released in 2006. This families’
name, Lukasiewicz (Luke-a-savage), sounds a lot like Luke Ham Sandwich,
which is how the name of the band was created. When asked “What makes
your band different than anyone else?” their response was, “We may be of
different colors, but we are of the same heart.” |

Dakota Blond
BLONDE HEADS?
Yep! That's what all the enthusiastic folks who follow Dakota Blonde
across the Rocky Mountain Region call themselves! This vibrant new
acoustic "trio" is made up of Mary Huckins (yes, from South Dakota)
whose sweet strong vocals are the linchpin holding the group together,
the smooth steady guitar playing and cool harmonies of Don Pinnella
(nope, not blonde) and the charming acoustic bass work and humor of Tony
Raddell. Performing originals and covers that are a unique combination
of folk, bluegrass, and country with a little Celtic tinge - the trio
nails their tight harmonies. They are an unusual group - they met
through their careers in music therapy, working with children and
adolescents who are emotionally troubled. That special capacity for
empathy could explain the titanium bond the band quickly makes with
their audience. All three come from musical families, and their charm
stems both from the music they play and from the family feeling they
bring into any concert hall or venue. Their shows are very personal!
You'll walk away feeling like you've always known them. Dakota Blonde
has shared the stage with Nickel Creek, John McEuen, Jimmy Ibbotson,
Pete Huttlinger, Tony Furtado, Jim Horn, John Sommers, Jim Salestrom,
Firefall, Mollie O'Brien and the list goes on. They also played in
festivals along with folks like Emmylou Harris, Nanci Griffith, David
Crosby, Lucy Kaplansky and Greg Brown.
Mary Huckins' song "Somebody's Brother" received top honors in the 2001
Walnut Valley Festival songwriters showcase in Winfield, Kansas and her
song "Dig Real Deep" recently received top honors in the Chris Austin
Song Contest at MerleFest in Wilkboro, N.C. The group was again honored
to make it into the final round of the Independent Record Label Awards
this past year. They are certainly on their way up!
The "trio" are the mainstays of Dakota Blonde which is not so often a
trio anymore. They are joined by incredible talent on the stage and in
the studio on a regular basis.
There are times when you discover something so new and fresh and
exciting, and that moves you so deeply that you want to share it with
the world. That's Dakota Blonde. |
