Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real
Wasted (Tone Tide Records)
The reedy familiarity of Lukas Nelson’s voice is a dead giveaway you’re listening to Willie’s kid. In fact on “The Joint,” young Nelson, 23, sounds as if the Red Headed Stranger – fast approaching 80 – had been sipping from the fountain of youth. In our new oedipal age, when intimation and imitation aren’t limitations (see Justin Townes Earle), American pop songcraft has flourished. Hence, for all the father-son comparisons, Nelson and his talented cohorts still lay down fierce, often original, rock. High octane guitar solos, dynamic rhythms, and reflections on love and loss ensue – from the boogie-woogie blues of “Old Familiar Pain” to the Zep-worthy finger-picking meditation on “I Won’t Fail Her.” Nelson and company may feel wasted, but they don’t waste this chance to shake things up.

Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real at Charley’s (4/20/2012)

Where were you on 4/20? Most north shore dwellers were packed like sardines, happy as clams, jamming side-by-side to one of the best shows at Charley’s Restaurant & Saloon this year – Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real’s ‘Wasted’ Tour.
Only Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real can make sweating for several hours and trying to buy a drink at Charley’s on 4/20 a cherished experience.
For those who are unfamiliar with the band’s frontman Lukas Nelson, he is one of country legend Willie Nelson’s two (rising) sons.
Lukas Nelson and his band have had several accomplishments in the past year, including being featured on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, The Late Show with David Letterman, and Jimmy Kimmel Live. Even with their base in Los Angeles and busy tour schedule, the band still finds time to fly home to Maui every few months and play a local show for their family and friends.
Band members include Lukas Nelson (vocals/guitar), Anthony LoGerfo (drums), Tato Melgar (percussion), and Corey McCormick (bass).

Charley’s is somewhat of an unofficial Nelson family venue, so it’s appropriate that Nelson Jr. would round-up his band to rock the North Shore and celebrate the promise of the green in his hometown.
From 10 p.m. to well after midnight, the band played songs from their recently-released album Wasted that were “holiday” appropriate, like “The Joint.”
They also made sure to play some favorites from their last album, along with a handful of signature covers like The Rolling Stones‘ “Sympathy for the Devil,” where Nelson adds in Hendrix-esque electric solos to spice up the classic hit.
The band played a second Charely’s show on Saturday, April 21 for those who missed 4/20 as well as some die-hard fans who shelled out another $22 to see the band again.
As expected, both shows sold out.
