Lukas Nelson
& Promise of the Real

Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real is a California based rock band led by Willie Nelson's son. Founded in 2008, the band has been rapidly gaining notoriety. In 2015 they became Neil Young's backing band on his thirty-sixth studio album, The Monsanto Years, and its accompanying tour.

As with all creative artists, Nelson's course has been somewhat unpredictable. Though born to country music royalty, he has followed a different muse. Or, more accurately, he has introduced a bunch of muses to each other and locked them into an imaginary room to spend some wild time together. The result is a sound that has a simplicity to it that produces an instinctual urge to want to jump up and shout in the name of rock. There is also a complexity, simmering underneath the simple elements of power chords and full-throttle tempo. The tenacious, underdog streak in Nelson's voice blazes a path and leads his band straight into the world ahead. It was this hell-bent-on-doing-what-we-want worldview that certainly drew Neil Young to want to play with them.
