Encyclopedia
Luke & The Apostles was a 1960s blues
group from Toronto
known for their 1967 hit "Been Burnt". Band members included Canadian
guitarist Mike McKenna, Luke Gibson, Peter Jermyn, Jim Jones, and Pat Little. The band is considered to be innovators of the electric Blues.
Many of the band members went on to form other notable Canadian bands such as McKenna Mendelson Mainline
, Kensington Market and The Modern Rock Quartet (The MRQ
).
covers, "Walkin' the Dog", etc.
Sometime in late 1964, McMurray introduced singer Luke Gibson (born October 5, 1946 in Toronto), who was joined soon afterwards by classically trained keyboard player Peter Jermyn (born November 6, 1946 in Kingston, Ontario).
After Jermyn coined the name, Luke & The Apostles – a reference to a very successful local group called Robbie Lane and the Disciples – became a regular fixture on the local club scene, first working at the El Patio and then later the Purple Onion.

After signing a deal with Elektra, the band flew down to New York and recorded two tracks, Bennett’s "Been Burnt" backed by McKenna’s "Don’t Know Why" for a prospective single. The two recordings were readied for release but then disaster struck. Paul Rothchild was arrested for marijuana possession and the single was delayed for a year while he served a prison sentence.
Over the summer Jim Jones left the band and was replaced for five months by Dennis Pendrith (born September 13, 1949 in Toronto). On July 21, 1966, Luke & The Apostles found a new home at Boris’ in Toronto, where the band continued to play throughout 1966 and until the summer of 1967. During this period, the group also played occasional dates at the El Patio and the Gogue Inn among other venues. ("I don't remember the Gogue Inn, but I do remember a lot of high schools and northern 'tours': Elliot Lake, Sault Ste. Marie, North Bay, etc., and Montreal and Ottawa." - P. Jermyn)
One of the most prestigious shows the group played during this time was a 14-hour long rock show held at Maple Leaf Gardens
on September 24, 1966, alongside the cream of the city’s local bands. The following month, however, Jim Jones returned to the group's ranks and Pendrith returned to his previous employer Simon Caine
& The Catch. At the same time, Pat Little came in to replace Rick McMurray on drums.
On October 15, 1966, Luke & The Apostles joined local bands, The Counts, The Big Town Boys and The Canadian Del-Tones for a show at the recently opened Club Kingsway in Toronto opening for Neil Diamond
. Soon afterwards, Peter Jermyn briefly left the band for a few months and was replaced by Bob Kendall, who joined The Bedtime Story in December 1966 when Jermyn returned.
Although the group’s single had still not been released, the opportunity to return to New York in mid-April to perform at the Cafe au Go Go
for a week bode well for the future. While Elektra had decided not to release the single, the label still expressed an interest in recording the band. During its time at the Cafe au Go Go, Elektra booked the group into its New York studios for a day to record an album’s worth of material, including the tracks, "I Don’t Feel Like Trying" and "So Long Girl".
In its first stand at the Cafe au Go Go, Luke & The Apostles backed folkie Dave Van Ronk but were so well received that the club owner asked the band to return for on a second week in late May, opening for The Grateful Dead.

Luke & The Apostles repeated their support act at the O’Keefe Centre from July 31-August 5, during which the group performed a version of Neil Young
’s "Mr Soul", as well as covers of blues favourites "Good Morning Little School Girl" and "You Can’t Judge A Book By The Cover".
However, following a show at Boris’ Red Gas Room on August 6, Luke Gibson accepted an offer to join the progressive folk-rock outfit, Kensington Market and the rest of the band members went their separate ways.
After passing on an offer to join The Blues Project, Peter Jermyn moved to Ottawa to join the band Heart, which evolved into The Modern Rock Quartet. Jim Jones meanwhile played with several Toronto bands, including The Artist Jazz Band.
McKenna joined The Ugly Ducklings
before forming the highly respected blues outfit, McKenna Mendelson Mainline in the summer of 1968. Little joined forces with future Blood, Sweat & Tears

bass player Denny Gerrard (born February 28, 1947 in Scarborough, Ontario).
The new lineup, however, only lasted a few days and former Buffalo Springfield
bass player Bruce Palmer
(born September 9, 1946 in Toronto) replaced Gerrard. On February 15, the new lineup opened for Johnny Winter
at Toronto’s Massey Hall
. The lineup remained unsettled, however.
Former Influence bass player, Jack Geisinger (born March, 1945 in Czechoslovakia) replaced Palmer later that month and Luke & The Apostles performed at Toronto’s Electric Circus on March 13–14, before appearing at the Toronto Rock Festival at Varsity Arena on March 26 alongside Funkadelic
, Nucleus, Damage and others.
The new lineup recorded a lone single for Bernie Finkelstein
’s True North Records, which coupled Gibson, McKenna and Little’s "You Make Me High" with Gibson’s "Not Far Off". Arguably one of the best records to come out of the Toronto scene from this period, the single reached #27 on Canada’s RPM chart in October 1970.
, the SRC, Bush, George Olliver & Natural Gas, Nucleus and others before McBride also departed. He later became a member of Chris De Burgh
’s backing band.
Luke & The Apostles turned to Geisinger’s former Influence compatriot, Walter Rossi (born on May 29, 1947 in Naples, Italy), who was playing with The Buddy Miles Express at the time. With Rossi added to the lineup, Luke & The Apostles made a prestigious appearance at the Strawberry Fields Festival
at Mosport Park, Ontario over the weekend of August 7–8, 1970. The group also made a number of appearances at the Canadian National Exhibition bandstand later that month.
On September 1, 1970, the group made a one-off appearance at Ungano's in New York before returning to Toronto but the end was in sight. Shortly after a show at Kipling Collegiate on October 9, Luke Gibson left for a solo career followed by Pat Little and the remaining members recruited ex-Wizard drummer Mike Driscoll, performing as The Apostles before splitting in early 1971. Rossi went on to record a heavy rock album as Charlee
in early 1972 with help from Geisinger and Driscoll before embarking on a successful solo career.
Gibson recorded a lone album for True North Records with help from Dennis Pendrith, Jim Jones and Bruce Cockburn
but later eschewed a singing career. He now works as a film set painter. Little rejoined Chimo! for the band’s final single and then hooked up with Rick James

Early years
Luke & The Apostles emerged from the blues band Mike’s Trio in 1964. The group was the brainchild of school friends, guitarist Mike McKenna (born April 15, 1946 in Toronto), who had previously played in Whitey & The Roulettes, and bass player Graham Dunsmore. Joining forces with drummer Rick McMurray, Mike Trio’s started gigging at the Cellar club in Toronto’s Yorkville Village playing Jimmy ReedJimmy Reed

After Jermyn coined the name, Luke & The Apostles – a reference to a very successful local group called Robbie Lane and the Disciples – became a regular fixture on the local club scene, first working at the El Patio and then later the Purple Onion.
The group signs to Elektra
Shortly before the band started playing at the Purple Onion, a new bass player, Jim Jones, was brought in to replace Graham Dunsmore while Ray Bennett augmented the lineup on harmonica for several months (later joining The Heavenly Government) and ended up composing "Been Burnt", the A-side to Luke & The Apostles’ solitary single for Elektra Records. One evening in September 1965, Elektra talent scout, Paul Rothchild caught the band at the Purple Onion and asked singer Luke Gibson to audition the band for his label boss, Jac HolzmanJac Holzman

Current
In 2009 McKenna and Gibson began talking about putting a new band together and playing on a regular basis. The decision was made and the McKenna-Gibson Band was formed featuring David Martin on drums and percussion; William (Bill) Miller on bass; and Frank Sedlak on keyboards, vibes and backup vocals. The set list is made up of a mix of Mainline and Apostles' material, blues standards, and new material penned primarily by Luke Gibson. The band made a successful debut at Toronto's Black Swan Tavern on December 12, 2009 to an enthusiastic, standing room only crowd eager to hear two Toronto music veterans perform together again. They now play frequently on Toronto’s blues and rock and roll circuit backed by three rock solid and very talented musicians and sound better than ever. There has been considerable interest and playlist support from several radio stations in central / southwestern Ontario, and a CD of new, original material is planned for 2011.Singles
