DAN BALL

After sets at haunts like New World Brewery and The Ritz, Lucero is back yet again with another setlist full of alt-country and rock and roll anthems. Although its last outing, an acoustic EP, was a quiet revisitation with ideas from 2018’s Among the Ghosts, frontman Ben Nichols & co. are known for providing the ultimate live show.

This band helped pave the Americana genre into what it is today—and you can certainly hear that nuance scattered amongst its songs.
