Luke Dame Rides Through the Stages of Grief on New Single “Wyoming”

Based in Northern Vermont, singer-songwriter Luke Dame releases his introspective single, “Wyoming,” blending emotionally restrained songwriting shaped by his years living in Seattle with acoustic folk foundations. Released on January 23, 2026, the track reflects on isolation and emotional withdrawal following a step back from public life. Through this release, Dame hopes to share the kind of music he enjoys through authentic songwriting to capture his honesty and struggles.

Dame wrote “Wyoming” during a period when he stopped posting on social media actively, withdrawing from the public eye. In that silence, he realized that many people he believed were friends never reached out once he disappeared. Hence, the track captures the grieving process, particularly the anger stage, of accepting the absence of a community he thought he had.

Recorded at Serif Sound, mixed and produced by Koby Nelson, and mastered by Raelynn Janicke at Infrasonic Sound, the new single marks a focused and emotionally-grounded step forward as an emerging artist.

Luke Dame comments:

“You can produce sounds on a song endlessly; you can’t produce honesty. I hope this song sounds as honest to others as it feels to me.”
