Bethlehem Steelby Grant Lee Buffalo

Mark writes: "Living just a few minutes away from the former Bethlehem Steel site, which has been redeveloped into a really cool indoor/outdoor arts and music space, I am saddened by the lack of live music and all of the downstream impacts of musicians not playing out. Fortunately we still have you lovely folks at KEXP. Thanks... so glad we are not alone 😀" -- Watch Grant Lee Buffalo performing live on KEXP from the Bumbershoot Music Lounge in 2011 here: www.youtube.com

Formed in 1992, and led by singer/songwriter Grant Lee Phillips, the group disbanded in 1999. Phillips continues to make solo material, and made this statement after their demise: "It's no good hummin' or hawin' about the band this or the band that. I'm on a particular donkey-headed path, it's narrow, only room for one ya know...presently, I'm writing up a storm from morning 'till midnight..."

Grant-Lee Phillips has had a storied career, both of his own success with Grant-Lee Buffalo in the ’90s and through the ones he tells in the songs of his previous seven solo albums. The narrative force remains strong on his latest, The Narrows, his eighth and the first recorded since he moved from his long-time home in Los Angeles to Nashville. You can hear a track from The Narrows, 'Rolling Pin' here: blog.kexp.org

Grant Lee Phillips will be at the Crocodile on March 18th. He's also playing a lot of small venues so look for him near you! In the meantime he was featured recently on the Song of the Day podcast blog.kexp.org
