Ardent Studios is very proud to have hosted Lucero on their 10th Anniversary! Don’t miss this stellar performance which includes music from their entire catalog. Lead singer Ben Nichols guides us through some of the band’s earliest songs, latest gems and plays several heartfelt renditions of tunes that are rarely played live. Rick Steff, a member of the Memphis Rhythm Band that backed Cat Power on her breakout album “The Greatest“, joins the band on B3 organ, piano and accordion. Look for the new Lucero album, 1372 Overton Park, here.
