Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real(son of Willie Nelson)
Promise of the Real takes to the road this summer supporting Willie Nelson, B.B. King and other acts.
Guitarist, singer and songwriter Lukas Nelson was born in Austin, Texas, raised on his father Willie Nelson’s famed Honeysuckle Rose bus. He is joined in the aptly-named Promise of the Real by drummer Anthony LoGerfo, bassist Corey McCormick and percussionist Tato Melgar. The band has released a well-received EP, Brando’s Paradise Sessions, produced by former Oingo Boingo bassist John Avila, and plans to release a full album in the not too distant future.
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.

Safe Flight Prayer
May the winds welcome you with softness.
May the sun bless you with its warm hands.
May you fly so high and so well that God
joins you in laughter and sets you gently
back into the loving arms of Mother Earth.
