Hailing from Memphis, Tennessee, Lucero combines its punk rock roots with a bit of a country twang for a unique southern rock sound. Lucero played its first show as a band in 1998, and now plays at least 200 shows a year throughout the United States and Canada. Lucero has released six full length albums with plenty of songs about love, life, music, drinking… and drinking. Their songs tell colorful stories of life and small town American culture. Singer Ben Nichols’ signature “whiskey soaked” vocals compliment twangy riffs on their most recent album, “Rebels, Rogues & Sworn Brothers”.
Lucero has been called Memphis, Tennessee’s answer to Bruce Springsteen. The band's life and Southern heritage is apparent on every song, and the band wouldn’t have it any other way. “Being from the south is important, I think. It gives the songs a place,” says Nichols. “The Pogues could never have been from anywhere other than Ireland. Bruce Springsteen could only be from Jersey. I'd like to think where we’re from come through in the songs.”
Lucero is a band with more than just fans - they have a legion of diehards who do not miss a show and scream the words to every song; all while not spilling their PBR or Jack and coke. Now that is what I call impressive!
