Minnesota and Lucius have a “special relationship” akin to the what the UK and US share just without Brexit and Trump. Lucius has performed at the State Capitol, First Avenue, small town venues (yes Rochester counts as small town) and Rock The Garden. Now they are bringing their Live Nudes acoustic tour to the Fitzgerald Theater for 2 nights. 5/10 and 5/11. Saturday seems to be sold out but a few tickets remain for Friday night’s show HERE
Fronted by the enchanting Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig, Lucius has drawn acclaim for powerful songs showcasing taut hooks, along with their mesmerizing stage presence and bold visual aesthetics. The New York Times described Wolfe and Laessig’s vocals as being “especially gorgeous,” while Rolling Stone says Lucius is “powerful enough to knock you over.” Talented multi-instrumentalists Peter Lalish and Dan Molad round out the group.
After wrapping up back-up singer duties on the Roger Waters, arena-conquering Us + Them tour, performing over 170 shows in two years around the world, 2019 finds Lucius back together for an intimate acoustic tour in support of last year’s critically-acclaimed 10-track acoustic album, NUDES. Wolfe and Laessig have become in-demand collaborators on their own – singing on albums for artists including Waters, John Legend, Nathaniel Rateliff, Ingrid Michaelson, The War on Drugs and Kurt Vile.
