Uncle Lucius Announce 2015 Fall Tour Dates; Premiere Video for "Don't Own The Right"

AUSTIN, Texas — On the heels of their “indescribably delicious” (San Antonio Express-News) new album, The Light, released the past June, Uncle Lucius continues their national tour with a series of September shows in the Southern United States and Midwest including stops in Nashville for the Americana Music Festival and Rock Island, Ill. for a Daytrotter session.

Uncle Lucius has gathered critical acclaim for taking rock ’n’ roll from its deep roots and pushing it onward, “putting their own honest interpretation on the essential elements of R&B, blues, and country,” says Artshound. “The Austin-based band “plays to its strengths on its fourth album,” notes All Music. “Few do it with the panache and soulfulness of Uncle Lucius,” writes the hometown Austin Chronicle.

“At this point, we are more comfortable than ever with the new songs from The Light,” says lead singer Kevin Galloway. “I believe they already sound better than what we played on the album.”

In addition to new tour dates, the band has just released a farcical new video for “Don’t Own the Right.” 

Uncle Lucius’ Jonny “Keys” Grossman describes it as “a tale of redemption in the form of resignation and self-reflection that asks, ‘am I at my best when I acquiesce?’” In a droll tone, he continues, “From the exhumed remains of an abortive South Austin time capsule, hidden-camera footage reveals the secret lives of aristocratic transients living underneath the awning at Uncle Lucius headquarters. It’s a twisted tale, a fable full of bizarre rituals. 

Authorities confirm that one chicken fisherman, an alcoholic bumblebee, and one feline seductress are being sought for questioning . . . Fresh from the VHS section of the South Austin Salvation Army, we certainly hope you enjoy ‘Don’t Own the Right’!”
