About Black Pumas
Black Pumas' self-titled debut album is currently nominated for Album of the Year at the 2021 Grammys, and its lead single "Colors," which has surpassed 150 million streams, nominated for Record of the Year. In just a few years' time, singer/frontman Eric Burton and producer/band leader Adrian Quesada turned their unplanned meeting into a Grammy-nominated act with songs that have racked up millions of streams and won overwhelming critical praise and multiple sold-out tours across North America and Europe. Following their 2020 Grammy nomination for Best New Artist, Black Pumas' saw their powerhouse singles "Colors" and "Fire" both top Billboard's Adult Alternative Chart and spent the year making high-profile appearances on every single late night television show, as well as Good Morning America, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, and NPR's Tiny Desk Home series. Their moving performance of "Colors" at the 2021 Biden-Harris Inauguration in January was just the beginning of what's sure to be another explosive year for Black Pumas.
About Lucius
Every Lucius song is an act of enchantment, a spell cast by the indelibly harmonized voices of Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig. Onstage, the performance becomes an invitation to be witness to their transformation; the dance between two individuals becoming one voice, one vision and bound by psychic symmetry. And while the effect of this spectacle is hypnotic and gloriously strange, the songwriting continues to be the hand that reaches out from behind the curtain to hold the audience, bringing together everything that makes you nostalgic for the past, while looking to the future. After spending 4 years touring their critically-acclaimed albums Wildewoman and Good Grief with bandmates Dan Molad and Peter Lalish, they toured the world singing on Roger Waters' Us and Them Tour.
Lucius continues to earn adoration from fellow musicians, with Wolfe and Laessig lending their vocals to albums by artists as eclectic as Nathaniel Rateliff, Harry Styles, Sheryl Crow, John Legend, Ozzy Osborne and most recently, The Killers.
