Since he was old enough to walk, Lukas Nelson has been on the move. He was raised in a beloved musical family and then, as a young adult, released a series of thrilling projects over 15 years of leading his own band Promise of the Real. Along the way, he came of age in the dives and diners of this country and his itinerant life showed him America as few others get to see it. Nelson ponders his relationship this country with all its joy and heartbreak on American Romance, his first solo album and first under Sony Music Nashville. Recorded by Grammy Award-winning producer Shooter Jennings, it shows the singer-songwriter expanding his sound while doubling down on the fundamentals of his artistry. “It’s been a long and inspiring journey in the band,” he says. “This is an opportunity to experiment with some new colors in the palette, but we know we are always going to be there for each other.”
