Luke – Founder | Editor

Luke Goddard

Luke   Founder | EditorIn the Summer of 2009 after having earned a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature, Luke had the idea of starting a music-zine that would promote Georgia, independent talent especially, but maintaining a broad focus on artists and bands across the globe. After this humble idea became a reality, Luke has since seen The Blue Indian grow into a community of writers teamed together with the sole purpose of commenting on art. At one point, Luke kind of thought he was a big deal when newspapers and magazines all over the country ran stories about his popular engagement video on YouTube. Oh and don’t ask him about he and his wife being on TLC’s show “Wild Weddings.” Thank God all of that national coverage died out because it was really getting to his head. He now lives a very quiet life in Macon, GA and is an incredibly awesome husband to Drew, a tender-hearted super-human father to Lennox, a snooty music snob, a die-hard Atlanta Braves fan, an avid golfer, and a sushi connoisseur.
