 (Nectar) Lucas Field is Seattle’s Mayer Hawthorne: a smoove, soulful R&B loverman of the Caucasian persuasion. With a few breaks, he could be joining Allen Stone on the big-venue and late-night-TV-show circuits. On his 2011 album, Conquest of Happiness, Field (former vocalist for LA indie rockers Low vs. Diamond) writes about romantic entanglements and triumphs with elegance and ebullience. Unexpectedly, I caught him a few months ago playing live at the DUG vintage-soul-funk monthly in Lo-Fi, and Field and his band got the discerning crowd dancing. He’s a traditionalist with a keen, nuanced grasp of melody and rhythm—plus he has charisma and the casual good looks of a Sunday supplement fashion model, so it’s likely he’ll go far. DAVE SEGAL
