?I?m feeling pretty humbled and grateful these days,? says former Uncle Lucius frontman turned celebrated solo artist Kevin Galloway ?I?m very comfortable being on my own, and I?m enjoying the more intimate shows and the opportunity to dig into the stories behind the songs. I?ve always gravitated towards songs that I can connect to on a personal level, so this is perfect for me.?

The Austin-American Statesman?s Peter Blackstock described Galloway as ?one of Austin?s finest singers. His voice is rich, full of character and versatile; he can swing from an easygoing croon to a full-on soulful shout.? The artist has gained similar acclaim for his songwriting, with the Austin Chronicle, which noted that the artist ?salves easy, country-licked melodies that contemplate gentle pleasures.?

At 25, he followed his creative muse to Austin. There, he found enthusiastic collaborators in the future members of Uncle Lucius, who soon earned a regional fan base and a reputation as one of Texas?s most celebrated and innovative bands.

Over the next few years, Uncle Lucius? rousing R&B/blues/country-inflected rock ?n? roll wowed live crowds across the country and established the band as local heroes in their music-savvy hometown. But after nearly 15 years of musical success and personal camaraderie with Uncle Lucius, Galloway felt that it was time to move on and transition to a solo career. He did so, decisively, with his 2018 solo debut The Change, which expanded on Galloway?s work with his former band while echoing the tradition of the various classic Texas troubadours whose work has inspired him over the years.

For some artists, the prospect of leaving the comfort of an established band might seem a bit reckless. But for Galloway, now a family man with a wife and two young children, making music remains a matter of survival.
