About this concert
Folk Boy Records presents Luke De-Sciscio at The American Bar 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.

Rapt Biography
Folk/Slowcore/Ambient artist based in London UK.
Jacob Ware is Rapt, but what Rapt is isn’t so simple. The Brighton native describes it as less of a typical music project and more like a label, in which he just so happens to play the part of each artist. Ware first cut his teeth in the UK’s extreme metal scene as the founding bassist for Enslavement, but this belies the directions he would later take his music when striking out solo.
His self-titled 2018 debut was a series of serene, stretched ambient instrumentals, while subsequent releases None of This Will Matter and Drouth saw Ware explore swirling, reverb-saturated singer-songwriter fare and a techno twist on the ideas from Rapt, respectively. Brand consistency be damned, Ware’s an artist’s artist: helplessly compelled from one idea to the next.
Ware’s latest, Until the Light Takes Us, is yet another singular entry into his ever-growing and exceedingly diverse catalog. At first blush, it seems the most linear evolution in his discography. 2022’s Wayward Faith was a folk record crafted with the philosophy of ambient music, packed with understated details that rewarded close, repeated listening. Compared to None of This Will Matter, Wayward Faith pared down effects to create a record that dared listeners to lean in and scrutinize its tiny shifts and rich storytelling. Until the Light Takes Us moves similarly, though it’s at turns more mystical and more harrowingly real than anything he’s made to date.
