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.'
Encore
Always an amazing night at Guitar’s and Stars! You guys really pick greatness out of the sea of talent out there! Thank you for doing this! Can’t wait for the next one!
For a band like LANCO, they did not sell out and the venue was only half full. I was worried that with the smaller crowd they would feel any energy and have a flat show. They BLEW ME AWAY with all their energy. From start to finish they put everything into the show. With the smaller crowd, they all climbed over the barrier and played in the middle of the floor for a number songs. WOW! These guys are true professionals.
Lanco was great. Reserved seats at 8 seconds are spectacular! The sound quality at 8 seconds, not so great.
The warm up musician sounded great. The LANCO lead singer lyrics were indistinguishable, We left after 40 minutes.
Saw Lanco at Harrah's casino in Atlantic City. I have heard a few of their songs before so we were looking forward to the show. We were surprised and enjoyed it a lot. Lead singer is charismatic and has good vocals, the band played great and we loved all the songs!
Great music Great performance Great people Great times
I was blown away by the music performances and the comfort of my seat! Will be back soon!
Both bands were great! But for this old lady, the venue sucked! No seating!! Had to leave early because after standing for more than 4 hours, my feet couldn’t take it anymore. Missed a good hour of the main event. We could have have paid an extra $250 for a 4 person table but uhhh, no thanks!! The specialty drink for awful too. Thank goodness the bartender talked me into a single at $14 and not a double at $22. Undrinkable. Will not go back to this venue.
I had a fun time! The drinks were good and easily accessible. LANCO put in a great performance and really engaged the crowd well.
Ticket were easy to purchase online and load onto my phone. Venue is terrific but security line was a bit longer than my previous experiences. The town had a basketball game and parking was an issue. I made plenty of time to get into town early enough to be on the line before the doors opened but the parking delayed me. At 7:40 pm the line for security still took us about 10 minutes. I would have thought that it would have been shorter. The staff are wonderful and professional and we did move through the line smoothly. Tyler Rich and Lanco gave memorable performances and when Lanco came into the crowd to sing up close and personal it was a generous gift from them and likely a difficult situation to properly protect them and the crowd. The crowd was personable and cooperated with directions from your staff and it was a lovely experience. Thank you again for a fantastic night.
