Guitarist, singer, and songwriter Lukas Nelson was raised on his father Willie Nelson's famed Honeysuckle Rose bus. Today, the 21-year-old Nelson is still on the road, but with his own band, Promise of the Real. Joined by drummer Anthony LoGerfo, bassist Corey McCormick, and percussionist Tato Melgar, Promise of the Real is a blend of 'genuine rock ‘n' roll,' as the Oregon Music News notes-part American heart ‘n' soul, Latin tones, blues, funk, and a pinch of country.
