John Grant

It takes a masterful songwriter to tell heart-wrenching tales with a sense of humour, and John Grant does just that. His strong baritone bleeds frank, confessional lyrics with generous honesty and musical eloquence. Formerly of Colorado’s The Czars, Grant has emerged from a difficult past to deliver two astounding solo albums, including his acclaimed Pale Green Ghosts.Joining Grant on the bill is Southern troubadour John Murry, who journeys from heartbreak to salvation via arresting Americana.

having seen John Grant earlier in the year with a full band, it was a no-brainer to see him again, this time in a more stripped down version - he is a terrific performer it was a nice treat to have seats in the GA area which made it feel more intimate - if you have a chance to see him, go without hesitation

I've been anxiously waiting to see John Grant live after seeing videos of his performances after his first solo album, Queen of Denmark. I was excited to read he was coming to NYC as part of the tour to support his new album Pale Green Ghosts and was able to get tickets with my partner. His singing is even more stirring and beautiful than on recordings. His voice has a raw, powerful quality, masculine and vulnerable. I'm not as familiar with his songwriting when he was with his former group the Czars, but as a solo artist, he writes about his growth and relationships with humor, candor, bitterness and unrelenting honesty. His sound has evolved since QoD from 70s soft-rock to include a more 80s-influenced electronic sound on PGG. The songs with more of an electronic feel were more powerful live, and the piano-based songs, including tunes from QoD, were even more emotional and intense. It's definitely a highlight of the year (in a year of many personal accomplishments) to see John Grant in an intimate venue.
