Lukas Nelson and Promise of the Real Perform ‘Perennial Bloom’ on ‘Kimmel’
Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live to showcase a live rendition of their recent song “Perennial Bloom (Back to You).”
Nelson and his band, who have previously toured with Neil Young, gave the rollicking acoustic number a nostalgic vibe, performing in front of an old-school TV show backdrop. The upbeat song comes off the band’s new album A Few Stars Apart.
The album, which dropped June 11th via Fantasy Records, was recorded over three weeks during the pandemic at RCA Studio A in Nashville with producer Dave Cobb. During recording, Nelson and the band pared down a batch of around 25 songs to the final 11-track collection.
“I have a feeling that people really resonate with songs and lyrics, and when you can connect in that way, I think that it’s almost a deeper connection because you’re actually speaking to someone in their soul,” Nelson recently told IndieLand of his songwriting. “Then you use the guitar as a tool to accentuate and bring more emotion to what the melody and the lyrics are doing.”
