Nikki Lane
This first outlaw lady of country, Nikki Lane is a hybrid of Loretta Lynn, Wanda Jackson & Neko Case. On her All or Nothin' album, she teamed up with Dan Auberbach from The Black Keys for a duet. Rumor has it her and band mate boyfriend, Jonathan Tyler are living in Austin and will be seeing a lot more of them and Texas Gentleman at Sam's Town Point. Click here for their full SXSW schedule.
Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real
As Willie Nelsons son you're inherently seeped into music, Lukas may share his dad's beautiful vibrato but as for HIS sound, he and the band coin themselves as "cowboy hippie surf rock" and their latest self-titled album is chocked full of introspective songs featuring artists like Lady Gaga & Lucius. Check out his schedule here and don't miss him at the Luck Reunion!
Don't miss Austin's own local acts, check out just a few of our favorites,
