Luke McGovern and a cute dog.

Luke McGovern

If Townes Van Zandt were less cynical, more sober, and alive, he would sound like Chicagoan Luke McGovern. McGovern’s most recent album, Take It Seriously, is more playful than the title sounds and is filled with clean, acoustic guitar finger picking and solid folk songs. Guitarist carisa’s music leans jazz and has been called “bedroom cafe.”
