Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter and musician Lukas Nelson has become one of the most respected voices in music today. In the midst of a landmark year, Nelson released his acclaimed new album, American Romance, this past summer, which is nominated for Best Traditional Country Album at the upcoming 68th Annual Grammy Awards. Produced by Grammy Award-winner Shooter Jennings (Brandi Carlile, Tanya Tucker), American Romance cements Nelson as a singular artist and led Billboard to praise, "it brims with the insightful songwriting and grizzled voice he's known for," while Forbes calls it "a collection of rich, detailed songs that chronicle restless life lessons and open-hearted adventures" and Whiskey Riff declares, “a masterful effort both sonically and lyrically, and Nelson’s songwriting abilities shine through more so than ever." 

Throughout his esteemed career, Nelson has also established himself as a highly sought-after collaborator both in the studio and on the stage, teaming up with rising stars and music veterans alike such as Lainey Wilson, Stephen Wilson Jr., Ernest, Miranda Lambert/Pistol Annies, The Travelin' McCourys, Sierra Ferrell and more. He also performed at the MusiCares 2025 Person of the Year Gala, where he honored the Grateful Dead by performing “It Must Have Been the Roses” with Ferrell. 
Known for his captivating live performances, Nelson has sold out countless headline shows and been featured at renowned festivals such as Stagecoach, Ohana Festival, Bourbon & Beyond, and Farm Aid, in addition to appearances on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy FallonJimmy Kimmel Live!The Late Show with Stephen ColbertThe Howard Stern ShowThe Joe Rogan Experience and more.
