A Star Is Born’s Lukas Nelson on Writing Songs with Bradley Cooper

Have you seen A Star Is Born yet? After that stellar $42.9 million opening weekend I'm betting there's a good chance you have and if that's the case, there's also a good chance you might be addicted to the film's soundtrack already - just like I am. Of course Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper perform those songs, but they also collaborated with a number of artists on them, including Willie Nelson's son, Lukas Nelson.
Not only did Nelson produce and write many of the original songs from the film with Cooper and Gaga, but you can also catch him on screen because his band, Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real, plays Cooper's character's band in the movie. So clearly Nelson had his hands full with this project, and that's exactly what we discussed when I got the opportunity to sit down with him and talk about his experience working on A Star Is Born.

I saw Lukas perform two sets at Farm Aid (one with Neil Young, and of course with his dad, the great Willie Nelson) a few weeks ago. He is a seriously talented dude.

Saw A Star is Born last weekend! Stellar performances by all involved. Loved seeing my favorites Lukas Nelson with his band on stage in the movie and can't wait to see Lukas and POTR in concert Nov. 25th at SMART Financial Center in Sugarland to top off Thanksgiving weekend! Who could ask for more?

[@caseyspaos448]

I would have appreciated a more skilful guitarist to do the solos. John Mayer maybe.
