Luke Bell embraced the essence of what Country music was meant to be and has nothing to do with what is currently called Country Music. After discovering him, I had trouble tracking his career, I now understand why. It was such a shock to learn of his passing just a few miles from my home.
i know it's a long way off, but once it's made, you'll obviously screen it in specific locations, but then at some point we'll have access to buy it or stream it if we're not near one of the screening locations?@@RhinoKzoo
I'm a student studying journalism. I've never had a big passion for creating multimedia, but something about Luke Bell's story I felt strongly about. Like Kevin, I'm also from the Midwest, but probably even more far removed from Luke than him. I am not from a working class background, aside from my parents who immigrated and supported themselves in this country. I had just really been getting into country music - with some imposter syndrome all the while - when I started listening to W.B. Walker's Old Soul Radio Show because of his connection to Colter Wall. That's when I heard an episode where some folks covered "Loretta" as a tribute to Luke. From there, I listened to that album and was blown away. "Sometimes" really resonated with me. It might have been on Saving Country Music when I found out his story after looking him up. That was there I really connected. Myself and my community have been impacted by struggles with mental health, and that is where my connection with Luke Bell's music became that special something only music, and particularly this timeless style of it, began. I thought it was a story exactly deserving of a documentary, and if I ever survived school, something that I would love to see and even make if I had to. So seeing that trailer was incredible - I really don't even remember how it came my way, but probably some of the old clips I'd seen of him on TH-cam. I was hesitant at first contributing to a Kickstarter, as I'd never done it before, but this podcast has done a lot to ease some worries. Best of luck to you Kevin and Matt and everyone at Rhino, I hope I can support this project in more ways!
Walked into our local bar called The Bank in SW MT one night- town of about 250 people. Hear some music and two guys are playing music and singing near the front of the place. It was Luke & Little Hobo Matt Kinman. Just playing music, drinking beers and hanging out. Maybe 12-15 people in the place. An unforgettable experience.
Thanks... Sad but happy that this documentary is being made... It could and will help others..Over 28K people have viewed The Luke Bell , Where Ya Been trailer/teaser. If people had made a small donation the goal of 40k would have been way surpassed. Please take time and donate...God Bless and Happy Trails... Mike...
@@RhinoKzoo nick park in laramie wyoming might have some good stories about Luke bell. We all loved Luke here in laramie. If you need nicks contact I can help.
I think you are doing great work and are going about this film the right way. I applaud you for that. I’m a fan of Luke and stumbled upon your project from a comment on one of Luke’s music videos. More people ought to know about him. I’m interested to learn more of his story too. Is there a way that I can help?
@@RhinoKzoo yes I will also forward to you contact info for the person from the griffin theater. I believe luke played there and I know we went to see shows there. He was a loved member of the music community. I think the griffin folks would like to make a big deal about your movie
Looking forward to the film. Thank you! RIP Luke.
Looking forward to sharing it with you!

Fun fact.. at 9:59 in this recording when Matt says “Yeah”, it sounds exactly like Luke saying “Yeah”.
