Lucero - Universal album & Ramblin' Roadshow Tour Dates

Lucero @ Maxwell's - June 2009 (more by Tim Griffin)
Lucero

Lucero's sixth studio album and major label debut, 1372 Overton Park, is due October 6 on Universal/Republic Records. Produced by Ted Hutt (The Gaslight Anthem) and featuring horn arrangements by legendary Memphis session player Jim Spake (Al Green, John Hiatt, Solomon Burke, Cat Power), the record marks a decided turn toward the Memphis soul sound that has long informed the band's records from afar.
Lucero will support that new record on an extended North American tour this fall. LUCERO RAMBLIN' ROADSHOW & MEMPHIS REVUE is "a traveling roadshow featuring Amy LaVere, Cedric Burnside with Lightnin' Malcolm, Jack Oblivian, John Paul Keith & the One Four Fives and The City Champs" (openers change throughout the tour). The NYC show is on October 17th at Webster Hall. Tickets go on AmEx presale Wednesday, August 5th at noon. General sale starts Friday, August 7th at noon.

The band played a three-show NYC run in June that included a set at the Big Apple BBQ in Madison Square Park where they had a very special guest. Videos from that and all tour dates below...

Well that sucks, Oct 17th is the Revival Tour (which Ben Nichols was on last year) with Chuck Ragan and Tim Barry at Gramercy Theater. I doubt either show will fill up now since the crowd will be split in half.
Hey booking agents - good work screwing that one up!

I liked Lucero when they were called the Drive by Truckers circa 2000

Lucero and Drive-By Truckers are different bands -- both were bands since the late 90s....and both are still bands today. Similar-ish music...but definitely different bands.
Yay Lucero!!
