Taking a break from touring as Neil Young’s current backing band, Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real recently brought their adventurous brand of rock ‘n’ roll to The Grey Eagle. As an exclusive for Xpress, the band performed “Carolina” before the show.
The reunited group shares the bill with Holy Ghost Tent Revival at The Grey Eagle on Saturday, April 4.
JD McPherson — who plays The Grey Eagle on Saturday, Feb. 21 — instills his music with the same visceral danger that marked the earliest rock music cuts. And he honors those midcentury sounds with impeccable precision. Just don’t call it retro.
