About
We are excited to welcome Luke Barnhart & The Atomics to the Keegan Ales stage!
Luke Barnhart is a 21 year-old Rockabilly musician, as well as an Award Winning Tribute Act. His voice encapsulates the vintage style and soul of the 1950s and 60s. With influences such as Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Dean Martin, and Buddy Holly, Luke’s voice has a little something for everyone. Born in 2005 in Athens, NY, Luke has had a profound love for music ever since the age of 4 when his mother introduced him to Michael Jackson; he soon started "moonwalking" all around the house.
He is a 2023 graduate from Coxsackie-Athens High School, and is currently enrolled at University at Albany (UAlbany) in the Music program.
Aside from general music, Luke has an Award-Winning Elvis Tribute Act, which has taken him across New York and to other locations including Las Vegas, Canada, England, Nashville, and Elvis’ hometown Memphis, Tennessee. His tribute was brought to the iconic Las Vegas International (Westgate) stage where Elvis performed for 8 years.
Luke now focuses on his general Rockabilly work with "Luke Barnhart & The Atomics," playing all types of Rockabilly with a vintage and soulful style. The group consists of:
- Adam Klein on Upright Bass
- Ed Wasilewski on Lead Guitar
- Phil Nestor on Drums
Together they bring a new energy to old standards, thrilling audiences all over the capital region. This young man is not to be missed!
