LUCIUS CLAY
These four funk soul brothers found each other in the peaceful yet cosmopolitan town of Port Townsend, Washington. From their auspicious beginning they began to cultivate a unique brand of electro funk rock. After the release of their self title debut CD which offers a mattering of tracks that will entice you with soulful grooves, funky rocked out instrumentals and gyrating dance numbers, they began to gain success as an electrifying live act. The band attributes their success to the unpretentious party like atmosphere that is created when they let loose and jam on stage.
Happy with their ever growing fan base, the band members will tell you that their real success story was writing a song about the Dali Lama and having the good fortune to be able to present it to his holiness. It was well received. Whether credit in nirvana or on the dance floor these guys are bound for glory.
