Austin band Uncle Lucius will be a headliner at the Fourth Annual Family ReULion Charity Jam set for April 7-8 at Durango Canyon near Mount Enterprise.

The music festival will raise money for Tyler-based East Texas Food Bank, promoters announced.

Kevin Galloway, lead singer of Uncle Lucius, has for years drawn attention to the work of food banks and other organizations that help people in need.

In 2013, Uncle Lucius released “Keep the Wolves Away,” a song Kevin Galloway, the band’s lead singer, wrote about the struggles his family faced while he was growing up.

When Galloway was 13 his father was severely injured in a chemical spill and could not work for years. The family needed help to get through the hard times.

Uncle Lucius will perform on April 8 as the final band to take the stage.

Also set to perform during the two days are Willow James, Zac Wilkerson, Folk Family Revival, Aaron Stephens, Midnight River Choir, James Bailey, David Baxter, Joey Greer and The New Offenders.

Entertainer Johnny Magic will put on shows both days and there will be activities for children.

On April 7, gates open at 5 p.m. and the concert will begin at 6:30 p.m. On April 8, gates open at 9 a.m. and the concert will start at 10 a.m.

Tickets are available at outhousetickets.com and more information about the charity jam can be found at ULReUlion.com.

East Texas Food Bank distributed almost 22 million meals last year and works with 200 agencies to help feed people in the region.
