The Luke Walton Band is an American alternative rock band from San Diego, California, composed of students from The University of Southern California's Popular Music Program. The members include Logan Shrewsbury (drums), Peter Johnson (violin), Nick "Thor" Campbell (bass), and Luke Walton (guitar, vocals, piano).
During the school year of 2009–2010, the band performed weekly around Los Angeles and began to form a fan base. Following that, they began a tour of the California coast.
Walton rose to internet fame by asking pop artist Taylor Swift out on a date via YouTube. The video soon went viral leading to being featured on the cover of Trojan Family Magazine 's 2009 Winter volume as well as having articles written in national newspapers such as Nashville's The City Paper, NBC, Orlando Sentinel, as well as others.
In early 2010, the band self-released, produced, performed, and distributed its first album, Goodbye/Hello.
