Uncle Lucius
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
All of Uncle Lucius' members are native Texans who moved to Austin in order to pursue careers in music. In early 2005 fate intervened and brought them together. They are now playing around Texas in bars and clubs close to you.

Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Uncle Lucius is fast becoming one of the most talked about bands in Austin, Texas. The "Live Music Capitol of the World" is abuzz about the roots-rock foursome that is gigging heavily at the top venues in town. They have headlined Antone's, Threadgill's World Headquarters and The Saxon Pub to name a few. Just recently Uncle Lucius packed Stubbs BBQ and have four shows at the 2007 Star Of Texas Rodeo here in Austin. Uncle Lucius is also starting to hit the road quite a bit and enjoying every moment of it.
Their high energy live shows make even the "stick in the mud" crowd stomp their feet and beg for more. With the release of their debut album, "Something They Ain't", the buzz is going to undoubtedly become a roar.
