Lukas Nelson: Sticks, Stones and Tour

GRAMMY Award-winning artist Lukas Nelson has announced that he will be releasing his highly anticipated new album, Sticks and Stones, on 14th July via 6ACE Records/Thirty Tigers. Ahead of the album release, the first single from the project, More Than Friends, featuring CMA and ACM Award-winning artist, Lainey Wilson is available now.

Lukas said: “When I wrote “More Than Friends”, I had always envisioned it as a duet. I am a big fan of Lainey and she was at the top of my list of artists I wanted to sing with me on this track. When we sent her the song, I was thrilled to hear back that she loved it and wanted to do it”.

Sticks and Stones was written by Nelson with the hope of bringing people together at the forefront of his mind. Across the album’s twelve tracks, Nelson explores the universal human experiences of love, celebration, longing and humour. Self-produced by Nelson and his long time band, POTR, the album captures the band’s musical power and fits perfectly alongside the canon of the electric live performances they’re known for.

Reflecting on the new record, Lukas said: “This album is about celebrating the human connection, joy and excitement. We went from quiet and introspective on A Few Stars Apart to something big and fun to really showcase the band’s talent and performance. You can listen to the album Sticks and Stones from start to finish and get the songs to dance to and then the quiet, poignant songs. To me, this album is the perfect setlist”.

Ahead of the release, Nelson + POTR have announced that they will be playing nine shows across the UK & Ireland in June.
