Skyler Lutes LIVE

A native of San Diego, Lutes grew up in the surf scene of Southern California, honing his craft on the live circuit, touring throughout the U.S. as well as Europe, Canada and Argentina. He’s at home at gigs ranging from busy beach bars to outdoor festivals, where he’s shared the stage with the likes of Switchfoot, Shwayze, Pepper, Through The Roots, The Ataris, Hawthorne Heights, Aaron Carter, Mickey Avalon, and dozens of regional favorites.

Lutes is a multi-instrumentalist, who plays drums, bass, keys and guitar, as well as being heavily involved in production work, “but I really enjoy singing the most,” he said, “as it has the most emotion involved,” In addition to his solo career, he’s also been involved in several notable bands over the years, including Hawaiian group Makua Rothman Band, Pacific Beach indie rockers The Frets and multiple San Diego Music Awards nominees, the Defamation League.

Now he’s focused on his own music, with the last EP, Tidelines(2018), building on three previous collections: the all acoustic, One Thousand Hours EP (2013) a self-titled album released in 2015 the following year and After the Rain (2017).
