He has worked on several Grammy and Latin Grammy nominated recordings. Camilo is the co-founder of Latin Alternative record label Round Whirled Records and a 2016 Grammy Nominee for his work with the Nicaraguan band La Cuneta.
Luke Kirley comes from a long line of plumbers which might explain why he plays the trombone and tuba. Anyway, he was born and raised in San Anselmo, CA where he began his musical odyssey. Luke received a BA in Music from the University of California, Santa Cruz. In 2003, he relocated to Oakland, CA where he took a deep dive into the local salsa scene playing regularly with Avance, Montuno Swing, and many others. For over 9 years, Luke displayed his dance moves along with his trombone playing with the MJ tribute band Foreverland. But his true passion has been the brass band music of New Orleans. You’ll see Tuba Luke holding it down with MJ's Brass Boppers, St. Gabriel's Celestial BB, Honor BB, Brass Animals, and anyone looking for the NOLA tuba sound!
