Lucero in Athens

Lucero is an American rock band formed in Memphis in 1998, led by singer and guitarist Ben Nichols. Its music draws on alt-country, Southern rock and punk, and the band is known for songs including “Nights Like These” and “Sweet Little Thing,” as well as the albums That Much Further West, Nobody’s Darlings and 1372 Overton Park. The 2005 live album and documentary Dreaming in America captured Lucero’s touring life and performances during the band’s years on the road. In 2013, Lucero recorded a three-night stand at Terminal West in Atlanta; those concerts became the double album Live from Atlanta.
