Bio

David Luther is a Kansas City-based music artist known for his soulful blend of Americana and indie-folk, blues-infused rock, and heartfelt singer-songwriter. Rooted in the rich musical landscape of the Midwest, Luther's music often explores themes of resilience, the search for connection, and the beauty of everyday life. With a warm and evocative voice, raw and powerful delivery, he crafts songs that resonate with sincerity and a deep sense of place. Having honed his craft in the Kansas City music community, David Luther recorded his first self-titled EP in 2009 with Nashville producer Neilson Hubbard. The EP featured backing vocals from Americana artist Garrison Starr. 

In 2020, during the heart of COVID-19, David knew it was time to embrace becoming a full-time musician.. Stepping away from social work and side jobs, especially as a single father of two boys, was a faith move then. Shortly after, David worked with his sister Anna Taylor and producer Brandon Mashburn on the single I Will, released in 2023, a song to draw attention to things that unite rather than divide us. During this time David collaborated with David George and Pat Tomek on his EP Take Me Home, which was released in 2022. The EP included the anthem Home To Kansas City and World’s Gonna Change, a song co-written by David, Brandon Mashburn, and Academy Award and Golden Globe-winning songwriter Tom Whitlock. George and Tomek's dedication and artistry to the project, along with the exceptional musicians and singers has been inspiring.

In July 2024, David again joined Neilson Hubbard, along with Juan Solórzano and engineer Dylan Alldredge, in their East Nashville studio to record Who You Are. Released on April 25th, the album features partner Kelly Dougherty on “Wrecking Bay” and Garrison Starr on “If Love Just Ain't Enough.”  The songs on the LP are a journey of David’s songwriting, many coming from painful places in the past and leading up to the last song he finished the night before the last days of recording, the title track.

  His genuine songwriting resonates deeply, and his performances forge a strong connection, solidifying his position as a compelling voice in the Americana music community.
