Uncle Lucius has long been celebrated for their distinctive fusion of roots rock & roll and country soul. With the addition of musical heavyweights Doug Strahan on guitar and Drew Scherger on bass, the band has broadened its artistic horizons, fearlessly venturing into new musical landscapes and embracing the power of exploring sonic avenues without prejudice or limitation. This willingness to experiment and evolve has manifested in their captivating onstage performances, which speak volumes about their growth and versatility.
Following the band's heartfelt farewell tour, Uncle Lucius' audience continued to grow organically, fueled by the enduring appeal of their music. A significant milestone in this period was the placement of their song "Keep the Wolves Away" in an episode of the popular television series Yellowstone. This exposure led to the song achieving RIAA gold and platinum certifications, solidifying the band's status in the music industry.
After a few years on hiatus, Uncle Lucius emerged with a renewed outlook and a reservoir of fresh ideas. The band members began to shake off their collective rust and crafted songs that reflected their career journey and current state of mind, delving into themes of resolve and resilience. This creative revival culminated in the release of their first album in eight years, Like It's The Last One Left, which debuted last December under Thirty Tigers / Boo Clap Records.
Since their triumphant return, Uncle Lucius has embarked on consistent global touring, reconnecting with their fans and captivating new audiences with their dynamic performances. One of the standout tracks from their new album, "All The Angelenos," has made a significant impact, reaching #5 on the Texas Radio Charts. This achievement is a testament to the band's enduring appeal and their ability to resonate with listeners through their heartfelt and authentic music.
Uncle Lucius' journey is a compelling narrative of perseverance, creativity, and unwavering dedication to their craft. As they continue to tour and share their music with the world, they remain a shining example of the power of following one's passion and the enduring spirit of rock and roll. Their story is a celebration of artistic exploration and the timeless connection between musicians and their audience.
Fan reviews:Uncle Lucius was the main act at the ACL Live Moody Theater with guests Sir Woman. They continue across the United States and Europe with the last stop at the Weert-Noord in Weert, Netherlands on July 13, 2025.
Absolutely fantastic show. We’ll be back!
Outstanding performance! Lead guitarist Mike Carpenter was in fine form. Looked like everyone had a great time.
The band was astonishing. Kevin's voice was rich and soulful. Everyone was a clinician of their trade. Two awesome lead guitars, out of this world.
These guys don't mess with auto tune. What you hear on the record is what you hear at the show. Don't miss a beat. Very humble group of guys that don't overcharge for shows. Will be seeing them again!
This was a small show, but they played like it was a stadium show. If you get the chance, definitely want to check out the band.
The band was amazing as always.
