A bilingual, musical story about a boy in Bolivia who longs to play music, yet, he must face scarcity and misfortune to fulfill his dream. Pepito finally overcomes by making his own instruments out of bottles, cans and other repurposed materials. Luke plays music throughout the story on homemade instruments. This inspirational story includes original songs and spoken word poetry.
There is a 45, and 60-minute version
Great for schools assemblies, libraries, theaters, and festivals. Loved by both kids and adults.

Luke brings a variety homemade string, wind and percussion instruments along with a loop station that allows him to loop each instrument live. The audience will hear melodic and jazzy flutes, world percussion, ukulele, bass, cello and more. Melo and upbeat vibes. All instruments are tuned to 432 hz for a healthier listening experience.

Address and whether they provide their own sound equipment.

"Yes, we’re happy to play music from Spotify before, after and between our sets. We’re happy to choose the music ourselves or let the client choose the music."
My all-time favorite gig was on a river bank in rural Bolivia, South America, playing for people who were cooling off in the river, encouraging them after their fields had been devastated by forest fires.
I love being a part of festivals, theaters are great too, but I truly feel alive when I'm performing for people who are in need.
I started performing in children's homes, public squares, and rural communities in Bolivia where I lived for 15 years. Now back in the US, I have been taking my music and storytelling to theaters, schools, libraries, festivals and even private parties.
Joel Mckerrow, an Australian poet greatly influenced my lyrical style, inspiring me to include spoken word in my songs.
I normally arrive at least 1 hour before to set up. I can loop instrumental music for up to 2 hours straight. Pepito & The Trash Cans has a 45 and 60 minute version.
Yes, I am. I can also bring a tent and provide battery-powered amplification if needed.
I only do a few covers and I don't learn songs for events. However, I am willing to discuss options.
Unique, inspirational, creative, positive vibes.
