Lucero was born out of boredom during the spring of ’98, when a group of Memphis, Tennessee, buddies who were tired of the punk rock and metal that dominated the local music landscape decided to pick up instruments and pluck out edgy, country tunes. After a period of woodshedding and experimentation, the band grew to seven members and began its ride as an underground favorite, using a palette of power blues, rock and soul to bring modern Southern country music to life.
