In this deeply personal conversation, Lukas Nelson joins Andy Frasco to explore what happens when music becomes your salvation. They discuss how childhood trauma shaped his artistic journey and why he chose authenticity over celebrity after "A Star Is Born."

Topics discussed:

  • The meaning of life and creating your own identity beyond famous parents

  • Processing family trauma - losing his brother to suicide and its ripple effects

  • Music as a spiritual practice and why it saved his life

  • His years backing Neil Young and what he learned about artistry

  • Working on "A Star Is Born" and choosing artistic integrity over fame

  • Songwriting philosophy - honoring the muse and creating timeless songs

  • Three years sober - trading addictions and working toward longevity
