On Saturday, February 3, 2024, Lucius returned home to a sold-out crowd at Brooklyn Steel. At the grand finale of their highly anticipated “Wildewoman, The Anniversary Tour,” fans poured into the venue with palpable enthusiasm. Opening act Jeff Taylor kicked off the festivities, setting the stage for the iconic duo’s entrance.
Originating from Brooklyn, Lucius, the indie band and songwriting duo composed of Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig, curated a series of select shows to commemorate the album’s tenth anniversary that catapulted them to stardom. Returning to their roots in the city where it all began, the night held special significance for the band and their devoted fans. With multiple critically acclaimed albums under their belt and collaborations with esteemed artists such as Harry Styles, Roger Waters, and John Legend, Lucius has solidified their place in the music industry.
With vibrant hues and bold colors, the audience matched the band’s dynamic energy as the lights dimmed. The anticipation had almost reached a breaking point before they stepped out onto the stage. Made more magical by a beautiful set design, mirrors enveloping the band and reflecting back out onto the audience, the connection between the audience and the band was undeniable as the beginning notes rang out. The evening featured an array of highlights that included a special sit in by long time friend and collaborator, Louis Cato. The band also took time to read aloud letters from fans, each one recounting the impact of their music on their lives. The band played through “Wildewoman” in its entirety, interweaving a few other special songs into the setlist.
Taking an immersive turn, Lucius ventured into the crowd for their encores, symbolizing the evening’s themes of unity and celebration. Amidst the audience, they delivered an emotionally charged rendition of “Two of Us On The Run” and a fitting Beatles cover of “Goodbye.” As the evening concluded and the band navigated back through the crowd, a sense of nostalgia intertwined with excitement lingering for Lucius’ next move.
