Whether your introduction to Grant-Lee Phillips was in the 90’s with his legendary band Grant Lee Buffalo, or from his extensive 25+ year/ 12 album solo career… or even from his beloved recurring roll as "the Town Troubadour” on The Gilmore Girls, you are in for a treat! This show will feature songs from his new album “In the Hour of Dust”, along with favorites from throughout his long career… Of course all delivered with his effortless charm and whimsy.

This past year, Grant-Lee Phillips released his 12th solo album, the self-produced In the Hour of Dust. It’s a work that doesn’t shy away from the big themes of contemporary life. “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.” 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.”

This has always been a bucket list show for Velour, and we are happy that stars aligned to fit this in as part of our 20 year anniversary celebration!
