his Is Luke has been making music together full-time for over 4 years. God has blessed them with the opportunity to use their talents and gifts in the christian music scene while still staying independent of any record labels.
With a sound that fits nicely on your ipod next to Switchfoot, Copeland, and Paramore. This Is Luke is often described by High School and College age fans as “a worship band, but not really cause they are cool... ya know what I mean... like...” Although it might be hard to describe their sound in full detail, the mission of the band screams loud and clear when they minister with you. “This Is Luke’s mission is best summed up in the great commandment, that is why we exist. However, we really feel drawn by God to provide intelligent and popular music to those fringe kids in youth groups. We try very hard to bridge the gap in what has become the ‘worship sound’ and what students are actually listening to.” (luke ramey)
Korey Wheeler a.k.a. This Is Luke has chalked up over 450 dates over the last two years in rock shows, camps and retreats. “Man, we just love writing and playing, rock shows are so much fun, but there is nothing like spending a weekend or even a full week with students worshipping God with everything we have.” (kory wheeler)
They are definitely not rookies, but they are not ‘rock stars’ either. “Our ministry is with people, not with green rooms and tour buses. We love to hang out with students, and at camps I pretty much have more team spirit than any High School kid, anywhere!” (jay woodward)
