Grant Lee Buffalo -yhtyeestä ja Gilmourin tytöt -sarjastakin tunnettu laulaja-lauluntekijä Grant-Lee Phillips saapuu intiimeille soolokeikoille G Livelabeihin!
Rolling Stone -lehti valitsi Gran-Lee Phillipsin parhaaksi mieslaulajaksi vuonna 1995. Häntä pidetään yhtenä sukupolvensa merkittävimmistä lauluntekijöistä, ja hänen taidokasta kitarointiaan on verrattu Neil Youngin, Bruce Springsteenin ja Bob Dylanin kaltaisiin legendoihin. Televisioyleisölle Phillips tuli tutuksi hittisarjasta “Gilmourin tytöt”, jossa Phillips esiintyi kaupungin trubaduurina.
Tänä vuonna Grant-Lee Phillips julkaisee 12. sooloalbuminsa “In the Hour of Dust”. Phillips kuvaa albumia henkilökohtaiseksi ja mietiskeleväksi teokseksi, joka yrittää löytää merkitystä hämmentävien aikojen keskellä.
Maailmanlaajuinen yleisö löysi tiensä Phillipsin musiikin pariin ensimmäisen kerran 1990-luvulla suureen suosioon ampaisseen Grant Lee Buffalo -yhtyeen levyillä. Yhtye tunnetaan mm. hiteistään Fuzzy ja Mockingbirds. 2000-luvulla Phillips siirtyi soolouralle folk- ja americana-painotteisella materiaalillaan ja tarjoili tarinoita, joissa on runsaasti yksityiskohtia ja inhimillisyyttä.
Konsertti on ikärajaton.

Singer-songwriter Grant-Lee Phillips, known for the band Grant Lee Buffalo and the Gilmour Girls series, will be coming to G Livelabs for intimate solo gigs!
Rolling Stone magazine named Grant-Lee Phillips the best male vocalist in 1995. He is considered one of the most important songwriters of his generation, and his masterful guitar playing has been compared to legends such as Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen and Bob Dylan. Phillips became known to television audiences from the hit series “Gilmour Girls”, in which Phillips appeared as the town troubadour.
This year, Grant-Lee Phillips will release his 12th solo album “In the Hour of Dust”. Phillips describes the album as a personal and contemplative work that attempts to find meaning in the midst of confusing times.
Global audiences first discovered Phillips' music in the 1990s through the albums of the Grant Lee Buffalo band, which rose to great popularity. The band is known for its hits Fuzzy and Mockingbirds, among others. In the 2000s, Phillips embarked on a solo career with folk and Americana-oriented material, serving up stories rich in detail and humanity.

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.“
