Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real return to Charley’s for shows on Friday and Saturday evening. The band will release its first full-length album, “The Promise of the Real,” next week.
“The album is a culmination of how we’ve been on the road for the past two years,” says Lukas. “It shows how much we’ve grown. I’m really proud of it.”
Lukas recently played with his dad and Neil Young at the 2010 Farm Aid fest, and got to jam with Young backstage at the annual Bridge School Benefit in San Francisco, which featured a historic Buffalo Springfield reunion.
“We jammed in the dressing room and I got to show them my new music,” he says. “They’d seen us at Farm Aid and were blown away.”
Lukas will open one of the Charley’s shows as a duo with guitarist Tom Conway. “The other night some friends of (percussionist) Tato Melgar from Argentina will open,” he says. “And it’s possible my dad might join me. It’s going to be fun.”
* Tickets are $25.
