As Ottawa Bluesfest continued this past weekend I had the chance to catch Lukas Nelson, the son of country superstar Willie Nelson. Definitely shades of the old man, soul filled voice, story telling writing, a love of music and his audience were shouting “chip off the old block”…then the band picked up tempo and turned into a rocking blues band and Lukas showed us his blues guitar techniques.
On this clip you can you see him playing with his teeth, the showman was front and center
Found this clip of him performing a sweet version of “Flooding Down In Texas…” the firmly played anthem of another Texas son – Stevie Ray Vaughan.
There’s no doubt Lukas Nelson is finding his way, he has all of the tools it will be fascinating to see how he puts them all together as the months and years go by.
