It’s a fact. We want you to join us on July 21st for the filming of our first ever music video. We are quite excited and we want to spread the love, so with that in mind we have opened it up and we’re inviting anyone who’d like to attend to come on down and take part! The invite here says it all. Should be pretty basic: show up at noon, bring some munchies (we’ll have some food and drink but just in case bring some nourishment)

Austin Texas, we love you… You know that by now, right? Well the Fun Fun Fun Fest saw it fit to ask us to come on down for to hang out with y’all… And who are we to say no to Fun Fun Fun! So, It goes down in November, gear up. Here’s the poster, more details coming soon. Yeah!

Hey folks, Ben Nichols is going to perform at the first annual “Open Highway Music Festival” on August 11th in St. Louis at Off Broadway… Other acts include The Bottle Rockets, John Henry & the Engine, Wil Hodge, WIlliam Elliot Whitmore, etc…

Hey everybody, the massive fires in Colorado have displaced a lot of people, a lot of folks have lost their homes and some lives have been lost. Our thoughts are with everyone affected by these fires. To that end we’ll be asking for $5 donations (or more) from everyone coming to the July 3rd show at Boulder Theater in Boulder, CO and the July 4th show at Aggie Theatre in Ft. Collins, CO. These donations will go directly to the Poudre Canyon Fire Protection District, the very volunteer firehouse that protects (and protected) the Mishawaka Amphitheater itself. On multiple occasions since this fire started they have successfully fought back flames on a nearby ridge and saved the Misahwaka. Someday we hope to play on that stage, and thanks to the firefighters in the area we might get a chance to. If you cannot attend the shows you can donate online via a paypal account set up at the Poudre Canyon Fire Protection District website. Or CLICK HERE for a direct link to their paypal. You can also mail donations by check (checks payable to”MPCFPD”) and mail to: PO box 364, Laporte, CO 80535

We will be honoring all tickets purchased for the Mishawaka at the Aggie – the day of the show is the same, July 4th. Thank you for your support.

Hey Everybody, while you’re nursing your 4th of July hangover you can listen to LUCERO on World Cafe Live with David Dye on July 5th. Where can you tune in? CLICK HERE for a list of stations that will air the performance. Or online you can connect to the WXPN Philadelphia stream Monday through Friday, 2pm to 4pm EST HERE…. Late in the day of broadcast, the audio will be available to stream from the World Cafe website: HERE.

Summer Tour begins tonight in Carrboro, NC and it winds its way across this fine country not once, but twice! We’re playing a festival curated by Metallica (what?!), we play a co-headliner with Reverend Horton Heat in KC, we’ll be celebrating the birth of the nation along the way with our good buddies Drag the River in Colorado… There is a large wildfire raging across Northern Colorado right now, as of now the July 4th show is still on! But tune into this page or Lucero’s facebook for any changes. Cross your fingers that the fire is put out soon. Our thoughts are with all those suffering as a result…

After Colorado we arrive in Southern California where we play the legendary Hootenanny Festival (alongside Rancid, The Rev Heat, Bouncing Souls, The Supersuckers, Old Man Markley, etc) But that’s not all. We decided to stay in the area for a couple more shows. If you didn’t notice we added a show in Pioneertown, CA & Santa Barbara after Hootenanny… Then Las Vegas (bang!) and then just yesterday we decided to stop by Albuquerque for a show. Due to the last minute nature of this show it’s going to be at a really small room. Only 125 lucky Lucer fans are gonna see this one, so get your tickets as soon as they’re available (we’ll post something soon) – or else you probably won’t get in. How could we skip Albuquerque? We couldn’t! Who loves ya?

Hey folks, we are taking a short break before the Summer Women & Work Tour. But that break is shortlived. We’ll be back on the road in something like 12 short days. And we have a surprise in store for you – we are working on something we’ll be able to share with you soon! We’re not just sittin’ around! Ben’s up in Minneapolis playing a couple solo shows, John’s fixin’ bikes for the people at Victory Bicycle Studio, Todd’s playing with Glossary at Bonnaroo… You get the picture: never a dull moment!

We are bringing the Women & Work tour to towns across this fine country we missed the first time around. Summer tour includes headliners, festivals (one with Metallica! Orion Music Festival)  a co-bill with Reverend Horton Heat in Kansas City… Good times are on tap, Join us! A couple new shows have just been announced, get tickets through our ticketing system and save some money over other ticketing systems…
