Luke De-Sciscio + Rapt @ Sneaky Pete's, Edinburgh

Event information

Folk Boy Records presents Luke De-Sciscio at Sneaky Pete's with support from genre-melding songwriter Rapt.

Between the years of 2014 and 2024 Luke De-Sciscio recorded seventeen full length albums. These songs, though recorded live and often through no more than a single microphone thrown up at the foot of his bed, became the tablet upon which he chronicled the seasons of his life.

It is no small miracle that from that vantage point, weaving tapestries from behind his guitar, Luke De-Sciscio amassed over 10 million plays on Spotify, has been invited to open for legends such as Cat Stevens and Jose Feliciano and become a frequent spin on BBC6MUSIC.

In March 2024 Luke De-Sciscio welcomed his daughter to the World and over the next six weeks recorded an album that sits amongst the top 50 albums of the year on Album Of The Year.org.

His music has been described as 'impossibly, world-stoppingly real' (Marc Schuster) and 'viscerally beautiful' (Real Goblin).

Lyrical potency takes centre stage amongst the elasticity of his voice and the born-in grasp of his guitar.

RIYL: John Martyn, Jeff Buckley, Van Morrison, Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, Cat Stevens or Buffy Sainte-Marie.


Support for this event will come from genre-melding, singer-songwriter Jacob Ware aka. Rapt.

Jacob's most recent album 'Until The Light Takes Us' has received critical acclaim from the likes of Sputnik, Swim Into Sound and Alt-Magazine.

'A deeply rewarding record that is at turns more mystical and more harrowingly real than anything he's made to date'

RIYL: Nick Drake, Damien Jurado, Phil Elverum, Bonnie "Prince" Billy, Red House Painters.
