Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real’s self-titled new album (out now via Fantasy) is #1 on Americana Radio this week. After a 10-week stretch in the top 3, the album’s surge to #1 is the culmination of a breakthrough 2017 that includes television appearances on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and CONAN; star-making performances at top-level festivals like Bonnaroo, Austin City Limits and Farm Aid; a #2 debut on Billboard’s Heatseekers Chart; his inaugural performance on the Grand Ole Opry and a plethora of glowing accolades from Rolling Stone, NPR, the Associated Press, People, Entertainment Weekly, CMT, American Songwriter, Uproxx, and more.
