Uncle Lucius

Uncle Lucius returns to McGonigel’s Mucky Duck for two shows at 7 and 9:30 p.m. on Saturday, October 31, 2015.

For a decade, Uncle Lucius had built its fan base the hard way, through relentless touring and restless searching. With no other option after exiting a record deal, they called on their die-hards for help. Hundreds of believers pledged tens of thousands of hard-earned dollars. Both humbled and exhilarated, the band hit the studio, eager to justify their fans’ love with the labor of their hearts and souls.

The resulting LP, The Light, released June 9, 2015, is the statement their fans have waited for, with its songs of seeking and questioning, of reaching out to others, of excavating the hidden strength within. After years spent spreading their message across Texas, here at last is the vehicle that can take them to the national level.

Certainly there’s risk involved when a band decides to go its own way. Freedom carries with it the weight of responsibility after all. That Uncle Lucius seems destined for a broader audience should come as no surprise, for music that comes from the heart and speaks to the soul.
