About this concert
GINGER PRÉSENTE : GRANT-LEE PHILLIPSCette année, Grant-Lee Phillips sortira son 12e album solo, In the Hour of Dust, un disque qu’il a lui-même produit et qui aborde sans détour les grands thèmes de notre époque. « L’ambiance de cet album est contemplative », explique Phillips, « il s’agit de chercher du sens dans une époque troublée, de se frayer un chemin à travers la poussière aveuglante de l’irréalité. » In the Hour of Dust est également une œuvre très intime, tant dans sa présentation musicale que dans ses paroles profondément personnelles – souvent autobiographiques – qui s’inscrivent, selon l’artiste, « sur un arrière-plan plus vaste et discordant ».Le public a découvert le songwriting réfléchi et littéraire de Phillips au sein du groupe rock Grant Lee Buffalo, qui a connu le succès avec son premier album Fuzzy en 1993. Le morceau-titre a propulsé le groupe sur la scène internationale. Grant Lee Buffalo a ensuite enchaîné avec Mighty Joe Moon en 1994, un album marqué par le succès du titre Mockingbirds, consolidant ainsi son empreinte musicale tout en transcendant son époque.En 2000, avec la sortie de son premier album solo Ladies’ Love Oracle, Phillips ouvre un nouveau chapitre de sa carrière, s’orientant vers un univers folk et Americana, riche en récits et en émotions. À cette période, il rejoint également la distribution d’une série télévisée en pleine ascension : Gilmore Girls. Ce rôle de « Town Troubadour » lui permet de toucher un tout nouveau public, la série devenant un phénomène intergénérationnel.Toujours en tournée, Grant-Lee Phillips continue de captiver ses fans aux États-Unis et à l’étranger. Avec la sortie de In the Hour of Dust en septembre 2025, une série de concerts est prévue aux États-Unis, au Royaume-Uni et en Europe, avec d’autres dates à venir. Retrouvez Grant-Lee Phillips en concert près de chez vous, où il interprétera les morceaux de son nouvel album ainsi que les incontournables de son répertoire.« Pour moi, il n’y a pas vraiment de différence entre une chanson d’amour et une chanson engagée », confie Phillips. « Tout tourne autour de l’importance du lien humain dans un monde de plus en plus déconnecté. »

Grant-Lee Phillips Biography
“I’m drawing on the urgency of the moment,” reflects Grant-Lee Phillips. “The things that eat away in the late hours…”
That urgency inspired the headlong rush of his new album Widdershins – in which Grant-Lee Phillips invests the insight, nuance, and wit that has distinguished his songcraft over the past three decades.
Exploring folk, alternative, pop and Americana, Phillips’ band Grant Lee Buffalo was a seminal ‘90s mainstay. Even in the wake of disbanding in ’99, albums like Fuzzy and Mighty Joe Moon remain enigmatic treasures, that new generations are drawn to. So much so, that Grant Lee Buffalo embarked on a string of reunion dates in 2011. The group signed a deal with Chrysalis/Blue Rain Coat in 2018 and a major reissue of the catalogue is currently underway.
As for Phillips, his career has constantly evolved, diving into deeper adventurous waters with each project. Being a songwriter and a multi-instrumentalist, he’s embraced the freedom of being his own producer. “For me, production is about honoring and delivering the song, baring witness to the spirit in the room. It is so much about communication, finding that common language among musicians and technicians - which is often wordless, by the way.” Fans have come to accept that Phillips would always prioritize creative discovery, while resisting the expected.
Something he could never expect occurred in 2001 when Phillips was approached about a role on a newly burgeoning TV show called The Gilmore Girls. “The Town Troubadour was sort of a cartoon version of myself. I had no idea it was going to snowball into multiple seasons, coffee mugs and syndication as it did. The show turned a lot of new people onto my music.”
Acting wouldn’t curb Phillips’ consistent output however. Mobilize, Virginia Creeper, Nineteeneighties, Strangelet and Little Moon would follow – each a document of his life in that moment.
On his 2012 release Walking in the Green Corn he drew from his Native American heritage. A year later Phillips relocated from Los Angeles to Nashville, marking a new creative chapter, inspiring The Narrows. The release of Widdershins in 2018 brings the current count to nine solo albums and four with Grant Lee Buffalo.
His eyes remain fixed on the work at hand and that of tomorrow. His tour schedule finds him circling the globe many times over in a given year. Constant movement, physically and creatively is almost a mantra. Say’s Phillips, “I could never sit still.“
