Medicine Man at Starlight Lounge with The Andre Lovett Band

Formed by a group of friends who met in music school, Medicine Man started as a vehicle for philanthropy but soon developed into their foremost creative project. While the six cover a diverse expanse of the music industry as individuals: orchestra, military band, freelancing, professional acapella, and even teaching, Medicine Man continues to be the place where these close friends reunite to create music for the pure joy of it. Their influences include most apparently, Americana/Folk and Jazz. The lineup first came together in 2016 when songwriter Luke Hoeft, multi-instrumentalist John Burton, and trumpeter Stephen Spink met as music students and began having jam sessions. Singer Heather Hoeft, violinist Helena Bandy, and percussionist Ian Houston rounded out the roster, and Medicine Man spent the next three years performing around central Texas and self producing various singles including "Letting Go" (2017) and "Coming Home" (2017). Medicine Man's debut album "So Much To Say" is set to release in April of 2019. The album release will be followed by a southeast celebration tour set for June 2019.
