Lukas Nelson & Promise Of The Real Biography

This new band... is something else, dude, praises Oregon Music News of Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real, a four-piece rock and roots music juggernaut that has quickly established itself since early last year. This summer, the band will be on the road supporting Willie Nelson, B.B. King, and other artists, as well as performing at a few festivals. Lukas Nelson, a guitarist, singer, and songwriter, was born in Austin, Texas, and raised on his father Willie Nelson's famed Honeysuckle Rose bus. Now based in Venice Beach, California, the 21-year-old Nelson is no stranger to the road, having taken his first bus ride at the age of five on a tour by The Highwaymen. Drummer Anthony LoGerfo, bassist Corey McCormick, and percussionist Tato Melgar join him on the appropriately titled Promise of the Real. The band has released Brando's Paradise Sessions, a well-received EP produced by former Oingo Boingo bassist John Avila, and hopes to release a complete album in the near future. The promise of the Real is a mix of "real rock'n'roll" - part American heart'n'soul, Latin tones, blues, funk, and a dash of country, according to Oregon Music News. "This dynamic ensemble has definitely established themselves as one of the up-and-coming greats that you will undoubtedly hear a lot from in the very near future." "I don't know what to call it," Nelson adds, "but we approach it with a rock'n'roll mentality!" They're "evocative of such heavyweight rockers as Steve Winwood, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, and Stevie Ray Vaughan," according to Chico News & Review. "If there was any uncertainty at initially as to whether Lukas could hold his own on stage or was just there because of nepotism," the article adds of a concert opening for Lukas's father. "The younger Nelson's soulful voice and guitar playing, along with his colleagues' creative discipline and talent (for such a young band), was remarkable. Over the course of his concert, it became clear that he is a one-of-a-kind musical powerhouse in his own right. Lukas and his team crept up on the throng and knocked them out like the proverbial velvet hammer. ” "I'm also a musician who writes my own songs," Lukas explains, "and since you know I'm Willie Nelson's son, it concerns what I bring to the table." “He's one of my heroes,” I said. When people compare me to him, I take it as a huge compliment. When people ask me how it feels to be his son, I tell them, "I don't know what it feels like not to be his son." The band has also opened for Dave Matthews Band, Blues Traveler, and Toots & The Maytals, as well as performing at Mile High Festival in Denver. Nelson explains, "When we established the band, we pledged to be real, and that's where the name came from." And he intends to keep it authentic and rocking for the foreseeable future. "It will continue for the rest of my life." I'm not doing it to get famous; I'm simply playing because I enjoy it. I simply hope that each record improves on the previous one and that I'm still traveling until I'm as old as my father."
