Grant Lee Phillips (US) har besøkt oss et par ganger tidligere, sist i 2019. Nå, nesten syv og et halvt år senere, kommer han tilbake til Kristiansand og Kafé Krank!
Grant Lee Buffalo var et amerikansk rockeband basert i Los Angeles, California. Gruppen ble dannet i 1991 etter oppløsningen av det tidligere bandet Shiva Burlesque, og kjernebesetningen besto av Grant-Lee Phillips, Paul Kimble og Joey Peters. Bandet ble lagt ned sent på 90-tallet, men gjorde en stor karriere med verdenshits som Fuzzy, Mockingbird, Jupier & Teardrop og Lone Star Song.
I 2000 etablerte Grant Lee en svært vital solokarriere og har siden gitt ut hele 12 album, senest In the Hour of Dust, som ble lansert i 2025.
"The mood on this album is contemplative," says Phillips, "trying to find meaning in an age of confusion, feeling your way through the blinding dust of unreality." In the Hour of Dust is also a highly intimate affair; both in its musical presentation and the highly personal – often autobiographical – lyrics in the songs, all set, the songwriter admits, "against this larger discordant backdrop." Audiences first discovered Phillips' thoughtful, literate songwriting in context of the rock band Grant Lee Buffalo, a trio which found success with the 1993 debut Fuzzy. The title track catapulted the group to international recognition. Grant Lee Buffalo followed up Fuzzy with 1994's Mighty Joe Moon (an album featuring the modern rock hit "Mockingbirds") etching a distinct mark, while transcending the era. Beginning with his 2000 solo debut Ladies' Love Oracle, Phillips opened another chapter in his career, as a folk- and Americana-focused artist crafting songs and stories rich with details and humanity. At this precise moment, Phillips was invited to join the cast of a burgeoning television series. The Gilmore Girls would enjoy lasting syndication and multi-generational embrace, introducing Phillips, "the Town Troubadour" to a new audience. Phillips is often on the road, performing to eager fans throughout the US and overseas. With the release of In the Hour of Dust in September 2025, concert dates are planned for the U.S., UK, Europe and other regions to follow. Look for Grant-Lee Phillips on tour in your area, performing songs from his new album, In the Hour of Dust, along with favorites from throughout his long career. Reflects Phillips "I don't see songs of love and songs of protest as being so far apart, really. It's all about recognizing the value of connection in a disconnected time."
