Grant-Lee Phillips/Howe Gelb

This meeting of minds is a real treat for fans of twisted Americana. Phillips specialises in beguilingly melodic, angsty country music, as played by his band Grant Lee Buffalo on and off since 1991. Gelb is the singer with Giant Sand, and considered by many to be the godfather of alt country. Either performing on their own is worth a shout, but both together will be something extra-special.
