LUKAS NELSON & PROMISE OF THE REAL and FRUITION

Rarely does a young musician get to meet or know the legends that have molded the landscape of music and its elaborate history. As the son of American music icon Willie Nelson, Lukas Nelson had the rare opportunity to experience playing with such legends as Neil Young, Kris Kristoferson and Bob Dylan. These influences played a natural role in the development of his musical foundation…Southern Blues and Texas Folk Rock. However, like all artists and musicians, Lukas desired a unique sound and style that could satisfy his own musical soul.

Born in Austin, Texas and raised in Maui, Hawaii, Lukas was exposed to a wider variety of musical cultures than most. Ultimately his inspiration would come from the soulful and psychedelic guitar sounds of Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughn. Lukas was captivated by the works of these two legends and taught himself to play guitar listening to their music. These rhythmic experiences would complete his musical foundation and with an added touch of the music culture from the islands, Lukas would create a sound that is uniquely his own.
