LUKAS NELSON JOINED BY ERIC CHURCH,
SIERRA FERRELL, MARCUS KING AND MORE
AT SPECIAL ALBUM PREVIEW EVENT DURING CMA FEST

FIRST SOLO ALBUM AMERICAN ROMANCE OUT JUNE 20 ON SONY MUSIC NASHVILLE

June 6, 2025—Acclaimed singer, songwriter, and musician Lukas Nelson was joined by an all-star lineup of fellow artists and friends for a special event celebrating his highly-anticipated new album, American Romance—out June 20 on Sony Nashville (pre-order/pre-save). Held at Chief’s in downtown Nashville during CMA Fest, the performance featured Sierra Ferrell (“Friend in the End”), Ashley Monroe (“Fool Me Once”), Ketch Secor of Old Crow Medicine Show (“All God Did”), Marcus King (“Die Alone”), Willow Avalon (“Make You Happy”) and Eric Church (“Ain’t Done” and “Please Please Please”) among others.

Backed by a full band, Nelson’s performance reflected the stylistic range and emotional depth of American Romance, his first solo project and first in partnership with Sony Music Nashville. Produced by Grammy Award-winner Shooter Jennings (Brandi Carlile, Tanya Tucker), American Romance cements Nelson as a singular artist, as he showcases his songwriting dexterity and country-blended sound in a way that feels both familiar and new. Across these twelve tracks, including collaborations with Sierra Ferrell and Stephen Wilson Jr., Nelson tells stories of his life on the road, detailing the joys, complexities, beauty and heartbreak he’s encountered during his travels across the country.

Reflecting on the project, Nelson shares, “This album is the first chapter in a whole new era of my life as an artist. It’s a love story to the country that raised me. Diners and highways that carried me through the joy and pain that led to the music you hear now.”

Known for his captivating live performances, Nelson will perform select headline shows this summer as well as several major festivals including Newport Folk Festival and Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion. See below for current tour itinerary.

Nelson will also perform a special show at Nashville’s Gibson Garage on June 18, where he will be honored as the first-ever annual recipient of the MHI Rob Wasserman Memorial Ambassador Award in partnership with Gibson Gives, which honors musicians who use their gifts to uplift the world around them.

Since his debut over a decade ago, Nelson has become one of the most respected voices in music and released eight studio albums, including 2023’s Sticks and Stones, which spent 18 weeks in the top 10 of the Americana Albums chart and reached #1 on the Alt Country chart. A highly sought-after collaborator both in the studio and on stage, Nelson recently joined forces with The Travelin’ McCourys and Sierra Ferrell for a bluegrass-inspired rendition of Adele’s iconic hit, “Someone Like You,” and has also worked with artists such as Lainey Wilson, Ernest, Miranda Lambert, The Pistol Annies and more. Most recently, he 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 Sierra Ferrell.

Nelson has also sold-out countless headline shows, been featured at renowned festivals such as Stagecoach, Ohana Festival, Bourbon & Beyond and Farm Aid and has made multiple appearances on late night shows including Jimmy Kimmel Live! and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Additionally, Nelson co-produced and co-wrote much of the music for the acclaimed 2018 film A Star is Born, in which he also appeared. The soundtrack won a Grammy Award for Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media and a BAFTA Award for Best Original Music.
