In a new feature with photographer Greg Miles, guitarist Luke Winslow-King explains himself.

We're pleased to welcome photographer Greg Miles to the My Spilt Milk family. Greg has worked with many magazines in town and nationally, and he has a distinctive visual voice that I'm happy to feature. Today his subject is Luke Winslow-King, an equally strong stylist in his own right. Winslow-King will play Jazz Fest today at 3:45 p.m. on the Lagniappe Stage.

The best time you’ve had performing

We had one of our best sets ever performing at Jazz Fest last year. The crowd was really behind us and it was a very exciting to be on that stage for the first time. Looking for repeat this year!

I make the music I make because ...

It's what I was born to do.
