Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real 9pmSean OB 8pmDoors 7pmhttps://www.facebook.com/events/327698021031318/Singer, songwriter, and guitarist Lukas Autry Nelson began his career in the early 2000s playing shows with his father, country music legend Willie Nelson. Born in Austin, Texas and raised in Maui, Hawaii, Lukas began playing guitar at a young age in an attempt to better connect with his hard-touring father. By the age of 13, he had joined his father's band, touring as his rhythm guitarist and learning the stagecraft that would eventually carry him into his own career. After moving to Los Angeles to attend Loyola Marymount University in 2007, he met drummer Anthony LoGerfo, with whom he formed the band Promise of the Real in 2008. Once again joining his father on tour, this time as the opening act, Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real self-released their Brando's Paradise Sessions EP, which featured artwork by Lukas' brother Micah Nelson, in 2009. The band would become Lukas' primary musical outlet over the coming years, yielding a pair of full-length LPs in 2010 and 2012. Self-described as "cowboy hippie surf rock," the band's style pulled from two of Lukas' primary influences, Jimi Hendrix and Neil Young. While continuing to pursue his own career, Lukas remained closely intertwined with his father's music, often opening for him, then playing the next set in Willie's band. The two worked together on Willie's 2012 album, Heroes, which featured a number of father-and-son vocal-and-guitar duets. For his next project, Lukas, Micah, and Promise of the Real collaborated with Neil Young on the 2015 album, The Monsanto Years. Following its release, Promise of the Real joined Young as his touring band. By 2016, Lukas and his band had hit the road again on their own to promote their new album, Something Real. That album was followed swiftly in August 2017 with Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real. ------------------------------------------Sean OB - an Irish troubadour straight out of Dublin with an attitude and voice that’s unmistakable. Displaying remarkable skills as a song-writer and lyricist, Sean writes with a hard-hitting honesty. He counts stand-up comedians like Doug Stanhope and Bill Hicks as influences that are just as important as the likes of Hunter S. Thompson and John Lennon.If you go in for the quick and easy comparison thing, previous connections to Jamie T, Arctic Monkeys and Buddy Holly make a certain amount of sense, but that’s merely a snapshot. Guitar music may not need ‘saving’ but some well-tuned brash expression wouldn’t go amiss. Striking stories with a sting in the tail, told well? Yeah, he can do that!Born and raised in Tallaght in Dublin, Sean first picked up a guitar at the age of 12. Once the rigid structures of school were thrown aside he set about establishing himself in the Irish music scene, firstly as leader of energetic trio Trap Door, followed by two years on guitar with Raglans.Having spent the last 2 years toiling over a plethora of home-made demos, which lead to the recording of his debut EP with the Grammy Award-winning Rob Kirwan (Hozier/The Horrors) he is now backed up by his explosive band under the guise of 'Sean OB'.
