Whether they move minds or bodies, Uncle Lucius is out to make music that can lift our spirits. And rock our souls.

Though Austin roots band Uncle Lucius has worn a Southern rock tag for most of its 10-year existence, the band's fourth studio album, The Light, charts a course designed to convey just how vast that musical territory really is. The Light dips into regions where blues, R&B, jazz, soul, country and gospel took form, mapping a sound that captures the true meaning of Americana.
