LANCO in Concert
A LANCO show brings a touch of rock 'n' roll energy to the modern country concert setting. Before you even hear them start to play, singer Brandon Lancaster, guitarist Eric Steedly, keyboardist Jared Hampton, bassist Chandler Baldwin, and drummer Tripp Howell come off like rockers, just as likely to sport shades and leather jackets as they are to don jeans and cowboy hats. And that combination is echoed in the band's music, which starts from a modern country base and sprinkles in some pop hooks and rock momentum. And frontman Lancaster knows how to sell a song—you'll see him onstage delivering "Greatest Love Story," the No. 1 country tune that got everything rolling for the band, like his life and yours both depend on it. And by the time he's through, you might just believe they do. After their aforementioned hit, LANCO unleashed their 2017 debut album, ‘Hallelujah Nights,' and their 2018 itinerary found the band bouncing between headlining club dates on their own Hallelujah Nights tour with special guest Travis Denning, and opening arena-type shows for Dierks Bentley, followed by a 2019 opening slot on yet another arena-scale tour with Luke Combs headlining.
LANCO Background
LANCO, whose moniker is derived from the surname of frontman Brandon Lancaster, got their start in Nashville almost by accident. It was like something out of a Hollywood movie, really—Lancaster was working a concession stand at a Keith Urban concert when he happened to strike up a conversation with Urban's producer Jay Joyce. This led to a meeting that in turn led to a publishing deal, and before they knew it, LANCO were signed to Arista Nashville. The band's 2017 single "Greatest Love Story" hit the top spot on the country charts and went Gold, making the band one of the hottest new names in Nashville in the blink of an eye. And when they followed it up with their 2018 debut album, ‘Hallelujah Nights,' it became clear pretty quickly that Lanco's mix of country, rock, and pop influences was no flash in the pan. Along the way, they've been nominated for multiple ACM and CMA awards, performed at the Grand Ole Opry, and earned over 200 million streams of ‘Hallelujah Nights.'
