Bluesfest: Lukas Nelson

A few weeks before Bluesfest kicked off, I told myself I would have to check out Lukas Nelson, son of famous country troubadour Willie. My mind wandered in the interceding weeks, but fortunately coincidence put me in front of the stage he was playing on. He's a fiery classic rocker who gets a bit of a Latin boost from twin percussionists.

Guitar action!
