Lukas Nelson steps into the solo spotlight on American Romance

Grammy-winning singer, songwriter and musician known for his work with Promise Of The Real

2025 release produced by Grammy-winner Shooter Jennings

Limited edition black & white split color vinyl

Lukas Nelson has announced his debut solo album.

The Grammy-winning singer, songwriter and musician, known for his work with Promise Of The Real, will drop American Romance on June 20, 2025 marking his release for Sony Music Nashville. Produced by Grammy Award-winner Shooter Jennings, whose résumé includes work with Brandi Carlile and Tanya Tucker, the record chronicles Nelson's life on the road through 12 tracks.

It features collaborations with Sierra Ferrell and Stephen Wilson Jr, alongside contributions from Anderson East, who produces Disappearing Light, SistaStrings on cello and viola on Montana, drummers Matt Chamberlain and Chris Powell, bassist Corey McCormick, dobro player Marty Muse, Russ Pahl on pedal steel, Brian Whelan on acoustic guitar, and Eleanor Whitmore on fiddle.

Nelson said: "This album is the first chapter in a whole new era of my life as an artist. It's been a long and inspiring journey in the band. This is an opportunity to experiment with some new colors in the palette."

As a preview, the Californian native, and son of country icon Willie Nelson, has shared the single "Ain't Done," a sweeping, acoustic country offering that reflects on his travels across the country. He explained:

"I went through this period of self-reflection and George Harrison's song, 'All Things Must Pass,' was part of what got me through that moment. It gave me that understanding that it's not for us to know what comes next. Everything changes and nothing stays the same."

Much like the land that provided its name, American Romance is a novelistic album teeming with great complexity and beauty that plays out like a series of chapters from Nelson's life. "The heartache that America has brought me and the joy that it has brought me," he muses, "It's all led to where I am right now."
