Lucero Summer Tour

Lucero will be touring in support of their latest album, Women & Work on ATO Records Women & Work, the band's eighth album, is a love letter to their hometown of Memphis.

"Having a band in Memphis puts you through a tradition," says frontman Ben Nichols. The band immersed itself in Memphis' long skew of musical traditions: Sun, Stax, Elvis and Al Green, Jim Dickinson and Alex Chilton.

Lucero will also work with director Jonathan Pekar, head of the film department at Memphis' legendary Ardent Studios, on their first music video. In the clip, the band is partying with friends on the banks of a beautiful lake. All hell breaks loose when the band finds their van is missing. But instead of being furious, they get into the party spirit and much fun-loving destruction ensues.

According to Pekar, "It is more than exciting to be directing Lucero's first music video. We're having none of that lip-synching silliness. No, this is more of a rite-of-passage kind of scenario. The band is gonna party with their friends while we all destroy their old touring van. A great American pastime like needless destruction and deviant behavior goes along fantastically with the Lucero vibe. I can't wait!"
