Lucero with special guests Glossary

Gritty rock with new life and old country soul - plus a hot new CD

Lucero are many things. They’re a band that doesn’t have fans as much as they have diehards who come to every show and scream the words to every song from their "classic" albums like "Tennessee" and "That Much Further West" - and celebrate their new release, “1372 Overton Park.” They’re road warriors who live in their van and have had their touring experiences chronicled on the "Dreaming In America" DVD. They’re a band that has been tagged as "alt-country" and "punk country." They’re a band that's written plenty of songs about girls and guitars, and about life, love, drinking, and life, love, and drinking on the road. On stage, Lucero’s something simpler: a true American rock 'n' roll band. Their songs mingle Southern rock, pop and heart-wrenching balladry, all soaked with twangy riffs and whiskey-hued vocals. Their layered songs resonate with lyrics that tug at your heart and melodies that take up real estate in your brain for days.
