ABOUT UNCLE LUCIUS:
For fans of: Chris Stapleton, Sturgill Simpson, Jason Isbell, Brothers
Osborne
Having shared stages with Merle Haggard, Zac Brown Band, Shooter
Jennings, Ryan Bingham and Hayes Carll, Uncle Lucius will already be
familiar to many who consider themselves fans of country, Americana and
southern rock.
For a decade, the band built its fan base the hard way, through relentless touring and restless searching. When the time came to exit the Nashville ‘machine’ and find a new way to create and release the music they needed to make, they called on their die-hard fans 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 fourth LP, The Light, 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 - and international - level.
Much about Uncle Lucius sets them apart. Five songwriters combining forces
is neither common nor easy, but what each individual loses in pride the band
more than gains in power. The song itself matters more than who wrote it, more
than the genre to which it belongs. “It’s not about trying to write a certain
kind of song,” says Galloway, “it’s about harvesting whatever song comes.”
Despite that organic method, The Light’s 12 songs share themes of
travel, movement, and quests without destinations.
The album places the band in unfamiliar sonic territory, and much credit belongs to producer George Reiff (Shinyribs, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Band of Heathens) for testing their limits.
Every member influences every other, and that combined filter comes close to defining what Uncle Lucius is. “We’re a five-headed beast,” Galloway insists, “and our songs speak for us.
Whether we succeed depends on how well they resonate in the world.”
