GRAMMY Award-winning singer, songwriter and musician Lukas Nelson joined forces with The Travelin’ McCourys and Sierra Ferrell for a new bluegrass-tinged version of Adele’s beloved song, “Someone Like You”—out today. The rendition came together organically while Nelson and The Travelin’ McCourys were rehearsing for their DelFest performance earlier this year. They will once again share the stage next Saturday at Farm Aid in Saratoga Springs, NY. Listen to the song HERE and watch the official video HERE.
Of the collaboration, Nelson shares, “Adele to me is on the top echelon of singers and musicians in our generation. And with Sierra, I just love her voice. It’s the most incredible feeling when I hear it and I respect her musicianship so much and who she is as a person. And then The McCourys are just incredible. We just played it one time and then within an hour they had it down. Being with these guys brings out the best in me.”
In addition to Farm Aid, Nelson will perform select shows this fall including Pilgrimage Music & Cultural Festival (with POTR) as well as three dates in Colorado as part of the “Life Is A Carnival: Last Waltz Tour.” Full details can be found at www.lukasnelson.com/tour.
Since his debut over a decade ago, Nelson has played countless sold-out shows and festivals and released eight studio albums to date including the latest, 2023’s acclaimed Sticks and Stones. Released to widespread attention, the record spent 18 weeks in the top 10 of the Americana Albums chart and reached #1 on the Alt Country chart, while the single, “More Than Friends,” featuring Lainey Wilson, also reached #1 on the Americana Singles chart. Of the album, The Wall Street Journal praised, “[Nelson] makes the genre his own…This is a fresh and welcome addition to what he’s offered so far,” while The Tennessean declared, “thoughtful, timeless Southern-style rock featuring anything from introspective lyricism to virtuoso-style musicianship.”
Additionally, Nelson co-produced the music for 2018’s lauded A Star Is Born film in addition to appearing in the film and went on to win a BAFTA Award for Best Original Music and a GRAMMY Award for Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media.
