 ART: Unknown                                     
          Luke Rathborne is 21 years old. He moved to New York from the deep woods & shallow waters of Brunswick, Maine in August, 2006, staying on his brother's couch deep inside the upper burroughs, before moving into the darkness of the Charlie Pineapple Theater Company on North 8th, an abandoned theater loft in Brooklyn - he's since left for higher ground and has been living in and around Brooklyn ever since.

Village Voice: "strange... melancholic.. Rathborne has assembled a diverse septet of players for this show" - Crazy horse - Village Voice
Fanzine.com - "A one night only event with a Fanzine favorite Luke Rathborne who is playing with The Johnsons of Antony & The Johnsons fame. Every time I try to to pin down Rathborne with a description, I get thrown a curveball. But then like Bob Dylan, Lou Reed or Will Oldham, why should you expect anything else but constant haunting, and engaging development. Just note it will be something to see. Interview Magazine - November 2008 - "Artists to watch"L Magazine: "With melancholy on par with Elliott Smith and melodies that recall John Lennon, Luke Rathborne cements his place in the "one to watch" division. The show, dubbed "In Search of the Miraculous," is organized around NYC-based artists offering a taste of things to come.. Hopefully.."
