Sunday
Lucero | Castle Theater | 6:30
Since being formed in the late 1990s it has been hard to put a label on Lucero. Originally a Southern Rock band, the group has evolved to include Memphis Style Blues, punk, hard rock and more while keeping sonic undertones. Twelve albums later, the band continues to tour since their first official release in 2001. The band has found their most success with ‘Nights Like These’ recording five million streams on Spotify. Lucero’s stop at the Castle Theater marks the last of five straight days of performing.
