Words and Photos by Juan R. Govea
Fort Worth’s music venue, Tulips, filled up fast Friday night. Doors opened at 7pm with a showtime at 8pm for Austin TX’s headliners Uncle Lucius and Austin’s Tony Kamel opening the night. Kamel played for a solid hour in support of his debut album Back Down Home and had a crowd of country music lovers raving. He shared the stage with fiddle/mandolin player Kym Warner. Kamel is set to hit Houston TX’s Heights Theater Saturday night.
As for the headliners, Uncle Lucius stormed the stage and played a heavy wild set. The Lucius gang have been playing fun finger picking tunes since early 2006. In support of their US tour for their latest release, It’s High Time. After a five-year hiatus the group is back playing soulful, joyful sounds. Uncle Lucius is a dream that first emerged in the mists of old south Austin, drinking cheap beer with Dixie while the jukebox moaned.
