Lucius returns to Mountain Stage this June during FestivALL Charleston.

Mountain Stage with Larry Groce, the long-running live-performance radio program based in Charleston, WV, is pleased to announce that critically-acclaimed indie pop group Lucius will return to Mountain Stage on Sunday, June 26, 2016 at the Culture Center Theater. The show will be presented at FestivALLCharleston by Holiday Inn & Suites at the Capitol Conference Center.

Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 day of show, available Friday, February 26 at 10 a.m. on mountainstage.org, by phone at 877-987-6487, locally at Taylor Books in downtown Charleston and also at Mountain Stage's upcoming live shows.

Paste Magazine describes Lucius as “…a display that employs collaborative percussion, eye-catching stage props and a symbiosis of themselves and their audience.” That's exactly what our audience experienced back in June 2013, when Luciusmade their Mountain Stage debut on the campus of West Virginia University in Morgantown. Since then, the band has collaborated with acts ranging from Jeff Tweedy to David Byrne and have toured with The Decemberists, My Morning Jacket, Jack White and more.

March 2016 marks the release of their sophomore release Good Grief, which was produced by Shawn Everett (Alabama Shakes, Weezer and The Strokes' Julian Casablancas). Check out the fan-made lyric video for Lucius' new single "Born Again Teen" below.
