Carrying on the Nelson legacy but to even another level
by Amy on 12/13/24Rating: 5 out of 5I have had the distinct pleasure of seeing Lukas Nelson with The Family on the Outlaw circuit and with POTR. I only first saw him at Outlaw in 2019 but the first note I heard the man sing my jaw was on the floor. I couldn't believe how much he sounded like his Daddy and yet distinctly Lukas. The same can be said for his style of guitar playing. I even adore the way he looks at his Father when he performs with him. You can tell there is never a moment wasted between them. And no matter the incarnation, Lukas always comes outfitted with fellow musicians that compliment and enhance the experience of his music even further. At this point I know what to expect every time I see him live and yet I will always leave wanting MORE! This past summer Willie was regrettably too ill to perform despite his best effort. It was a same day announcement for Virginia Beach and some attendees were foolish enough to choose either not to attend or to leave early. For the majority of true Nelson fans that stayed but might not have been familiar with Lukas, they were in for a treat. Once Lukas took the stage, it was pure magic to hear a 20,000 seat Amphitheater comes to a stunned silence. The exception being my husband and myself belting out every word when appropriate. At times you could have heard a pin drop on the stage from the back of the Lawn that's how enraptured Lukas had the audience. This man deserves all the dues and one day they're surely coming. Truly one of the most talented musicians in the industry today. Don't miss a chance to see him live!
