Many aspiring players in the studio traded on the sonic cachet Luke established through his landmark outings with Toto, Paul McCartney, Michael Jackson, Eric Clapton, Chicago, Don Henley, Lionel Ritchie, The Tubes, Cheap Trick, Randy Newman, Stevie Nicks, Boz Scaggs, and others. And by the way, he’s one of the finest guitarists to define the instrument in the modern age. Bottom line: Steve Lukather is an ultimate survivor of trends and tribulations in the music business. Just one of those accomplishments would last most a lifetime, but “Luke” is always looking ahead. A gifted songwriter and arranger, in a career spanning more than 30 years he has garnered acclaim as a Grammy-winning craftsman, prestigious record producer, and A-list session player. An international pop star and a hard-rocking muso. He’s a chops monster – the epitome of taste and understatement.
