Formed in 1998, Lucero is a six-piece band that has built its reputation on writing sing-along songs about small town life and love, putting a modern edge on classic Americana subjects. The members may look like tattooed tough guys, but they write resonant songs that tug the heartstrings of even the most hardened rock fan.
Since 2001, Lucero has played between 150 and 200 shows a year in North
America. The band has released seven full-length albums and two DVDs. The
latest album, 2009’s “1372 Overton Park,” was the first Lucero record to feature a
horn section, and the horns also occasionally accompany the band on the road.
Lucero has shared the stage with Social Distortion, North Mississippi Allstars and
Drive-By Truckers, among others. Nichols also co-starred in season one of
MTV's "$5 Cover," a quasi-fictionalized series about the Memphis music scene.
