Ben Nichols (Lucero) - 2008 solo Tour Dates

Ben Nichols

Lucero’s Ben Nichols contributed the track “Dog Day Night” to the Think Syrup Records Arkansas Compilation. With a straight up infectious guitar lick, reminiscent of early Black Keys work, the track has gotten its fair share of repeated spins throughout the day.

You can listen to the track on the Thick Syrup Myspace page and then go ahead and order the record. $10 gets you 24 tracks from Arkansas musicians and bands, most of whom were completely new finds for me since checking out this record. [Muzzle of Bees]

MOKB is also giving the track away for free. Mercury Lounge, Maxwell’s and other tour dates, below….
