With his roots in the Seattle music scene, Chris Luquette seamlessly switches from jazz to rock to bluegrass. His acoustic guitar playing really stands out, but this multi-instrumentalist is equally at home playing mandolin, drums, bass, electric guitar, banjo, and Greek bouzouki. Chris performs full time with 2015 Grammy Nominee, Frank Solivan & Dirty Kitchen. In addition, Chris was a founding member of Seattle based, Northern Departure, and has found himself sitting in with Jerry Douglas, Emmylou Harris, Rob Ickes, The Steep Canyon Rangers, Kenny and Amanda Smith, Yogi and The Yogini’s, The Boxcars, and many others. – Courtesy of dirtykitchenband.com
“It’s rare to be excited every time you open your guitar case, but I feel that way every time I go to play my Thompson. These guitars are an immense pleasure to play”. – Chris Luquette
