“Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real’s “Sticks and Stones” is a self-produced, honest and emotional new album that highlights Nelson’s strength as a songwriter and the band’s uncompromising commitment to clarity, compassionate tones, and exceptional melodic moments. Across the album’s 12 spirited tracks, Nelson explores the universal human experiences of love, celebration, longing and humor. “Sticks and Stones” captures the band’s musical power and fits perfectly alongside the canon of the electric live performances they’re known for. Reflecting on the record, Nelson shares, “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.”
