🎸 THE LUKE SITUATION HAS ESCALATED. 🎸

We asked one simple question: “Who is Luke?”

Y’all responded with:

Luke Skywalker.
Luke the Drifter.
Luke Duke.
Luke Ukulele.
Luke JohnJacobJingleheimerSchmidt.
Luke WerbenJagerManJensen.
Uncle Luke.
Captain D.

Apparently he teaches rescue dogs sign language, has a bird that visits him, may or may not be a Jedi, and possibly has a side gig as Lukey Poopy. 😂

And after all that research…

MYSTERY LUKE DIDN’T EVEN SHOW UP.

At this point, we have more information about Luke than we have about most of our own employees, and somehow we’re LESS certain he exists.

🧠 NEW QUESTION:
If Luke had shown up tonight, what song do you think he would’ve opened with?

Wrong answers only. 👇😂

The mystery continues…

🧠🎸 THE MYSTERY OF LUKE 🎸🧠

A couple months ago, we booked a musician for Acoustic Tuesday.

His name is Luke.

Just Luke.

No last name. No additional information. No explanation.

At the time, we were absolutely certain we would remember who Luke was.

We did not. 😂

So tonight, we’re embracing it.

🎶 LUKE IS PLAYING ACOUSTIC TUESDAY AT THE JOHNSON. 🎶

Who is Luke?
Where did Luke come from?
What does Luke’s last name sound like?
Is Luke even his real name?!

We don’t know. And honestly… we don’t want to know.

🧠 BRAIN TEASER: Drop your best completely made-up Luke last name in the comments. The more ridiculous, the better.

But whatever you do, DO NOT TELL US WHO LUKE ACTUALLY IS. 😂

Come see Luke.
Ask no questions.
Trust the process.

📍 The Johnson
🎸 Acoustic Tuesday at 7PM
🍻 Good drinks. Live music. One mysterious Luke.

🙂 HAPPY LABOR DAY! The Johnson is CLOSED TODAY for the holiday! 🍸We’ll be back TOMORROW for Acoustic Tuesday! 🎶Enjoy you...
