Best known for his versatile voice, intense lyrical narratives and dexterity on the acoustic twelve-string guitar, he has been called “one of the most gifted songwriters of his generation” by ABC News and in 1995 named “Male vocalist of the year” by Rolling Stone. Phillips, a Stockton, CA native, founded the seminal LA band Shiva Burlesque with vocalist and childhood friend Jeffery Clark (Nevada City local and owner of The Magic Theatre). After releasing two albums the band broke up in 1990 and Phillips went on to form Grant Lee Buffalo. Grant Lee Buffalo released four recordings on Slash/Warner Bros. in addition to various soundtracks, live releases, and a box set retrospective. The endorsement of some of music’s biggest bands, REM, Pearl Jam and The Smashing Pumpkins (all of whom the group toured with) helped to fuel the band’s popularity. In 2000 Grant-Lee Phillips, released the self produced Ladies Love Oracle on his own label, Magnetic Field Recordings. It has since been licensed worldwide. He signed with the Boston based Rounder Records, releasing Mobilize in 2001 to rave reviews. As a solo artist Phillips took more of a hands on approach to studio production, playing nearly every instrument himself. The twenty-first century would find him juxtaposing his trademark guitars with string arrangements and electronic drum programming, creating a whole new sound. His follow-up, Virginia Creeper in 2004 was a live acoustic recording where all the players interacted with one another during the process, very much in contrast to the technological solo experimentation of Mobilize. Mojo magazine dubbed Virginia Creeper, “Effortless…near genius”. One of the songs, “Susanne Little” touches upon Phillips Native American roots, telling the story of his great grandmother’s struggle to overcome adversity. In 2006 Phillips released Nineteeneighties, a tribute to his favorite cult bands and songs of the era – a nod to the underground artists who blazed a path for the Nirvana generation. With barely a breath in between, Phillips released his next CD, Strangelet in 2007. “Sixteen years into one of the most joyously melodic careers of our age…Phillips is writing the most intimate songs of his career …” wrote Goldmine. Walking in the Green Corn is the newest album by Phillips. Its ten songs are drawn from his intensive investigations into his native lineage. Phillips, who is Muskogee (Creek), elliptically explores the intersection of past and present, personal and political. While the songs delve deeply into the subconscious mystery of his own backstory, they simultaneously reveal the resonance and insight of ancient myth in parallel to contemporary man’s emotions, actions, and errors. Revered for it's lyrical depth and sweeping cinematic scope, the music of Grant-Lee Phillips extends beyond the realm of recording artist. For over a decade and a half, the music of Grant-Lee Phillips has added emotional richness to a diverse range of films and television shows. His music has been featured in a diverse range of films: I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, Velvet Goldmine, Mad Love, Zigzag, Easy, Arctic Tale and television shows, from Friends, The Gilmore Girls (a show where he also held a reoccurring role as the Town Troubadour) to Roswell, Six Feet Under, What About Brian, The Return of Jezebel James, House, Men In Trees and Grey's Anatomy. Phillips has been a guest performer on such popular shows as Late Show With David Lettermen, Tonight Show With Jay Leno, Late Show With Conan O’Brien, Real Time With Bill Maher to name a few. He continues to tour worldwide, and is a fixture at his second home, Largo, the prominent cabaret hosting a diverse group of musicians, and comedians such as Aimee Mann, Jon Brion, Paul F. Tompkins, Greg Proops, Patton Oswalt, Jack Black and others. For Phillips, who cut his creative teeth in childhood as a comedian, actor, singer and magician in a Stockton vaudeville revival house, “It’s all in a good days work. I grew up around old guys who played the saw, honky-tonk piano players and escape artists. Like mercury, it stays in your blood.” Link to the making of Walking in the Green Corn http://youtu.be/c7H4tHUrNxs About the Miners Foundry: The Miners Foundry Cultural Center is a living historic treasure serving Nevada County as a cultural arts and community events center.

  • On Music and Scheduling Family Entertainment
    May 26, 2015, Issue 449 On Music And Scheduling Great Country radio stations must have great music scheduling drawn from well-constructed libraries. That’s obvious, but the process sometimes isn’t. That’s why Country Aircheck called on consultant Keith Hill (playfully described by some as “the world’s leading authority on music scheduling”) to identify some common problems and useful tips to help stations sound their best. Coming Clean: The importance of clean, uncluttered libraries can’t be overstated. “I had a boss many years ago that said your library size is the station’s blood pressure, and you don’t want one with high blood pressure,” Hill says. “Don’t treat your library like a room with one door. If you bring songs in, take songs out.” Hill says including the number of songs for each category within its title or description is one way to stay vigilant. “Then you They Know The Way: KRTY/San Jose staffers host EMI have a constant reminder of where you need to be,” he explains. Nashville’s Eric Paslay and Big Machine’s Waterloo Revival Library cleanup can be a tricky proposition for stations Friday night (5/22). Pictured (l-r) are EMI’s Ron Bradley, without the luxuries of AMTs and callout KTOM/Modesto’s Sam Diggedy and Tim Nickerson, Paslay, research, but it’s not impossible. “You’ve Big Machine’s Brooke Diaz, KRTY’s Nate Deaton and Jamie got three important tools in that situation Jackson and WR’s George Birge and Cody Cooper. – the age of the song, the number of times you’ve played it in the category and the total number of times it’s played on the station.

Potremmo così riassumere il commento ai risultati di questo nostro ennesimo poll, stavolta dedicato agli anni 90. Nessuna sorpresa di rilievo, quanto meno ai piani alti. I Radiohead confermano la loro statura di gruppo guida del decennio, seguiti a breve distanza dai Nirvana. Pur potendo votare più album per ciascun autore, la maggior parte dei votanti ha optato per votare “OK Computer”, piuttosto che “The Bends” (solo 66°), un disco che comunque negli anni, rispetto al primo, ha visto salire le proprie quotazioni. Nessuna preferenza per il debutto degli inglesi, “Pablo Honey”, da sempre considerato unanimemente poco più di un buon debutto. In rapporto al peso che acquisisce nella discografia dei Nirvana il classico “Nevermind”, può semmai meravigliare il buon risultato raggiunto dall'anomalo live album “Unplugged In New York” (un disco dei Nirvana che non contiene una versione di “Smells Like Teen Spirit”, il brano di punta del repertorio, al 19° posto).

    USA // Music AustraLian ExcLusive GRANT-LEE PHILLIPS For more than 25 years Grant-Lee PhiLLips has been a river running through the American music Landscape. From his seminaL 90s band Grant Lee BuffaLo through the woody, foLky sounds of his Later soLo years, his music has tested the depths of alternative rock, pop, Americana and other modern traditions. “One of the most gifted songwriters of his generation.” - ABC In a career defined by risk and refLection, PhiLLips returns to AustraLia with two very speciaL shows excLusive to MeLbourne, off the back of his THE TOFF IN TOWN latest album, The Narrows. THU 20 & SAT 22 OCTOBER Uprooting his Life from CaLifornia to LandLocked Tennessee in 2013, Doors 8pm PhiLLips went off in the hope of a quieter Life, and famiLiar surroundings likened to his early home life – his dad being from Arkansas, and his $49 mum OkLahoma, and a soundtrack of boyhood seeping in NashviLLe. www.festivaL.meLbourne This concentrated nexus of romance, recoLLection, historic struggLes and #melbfest tragedies, and peerless craftsmanship – coupLed with the hopes, fears, and isoLation that accompany transition – formed the backdrop of his latest and eighth album release.

A revolution in roots-rock began in the late 1980s in Chicago with Souled American and Uncle Tupelo, and in the 1990s became a new genre altogether. It was Nashville's country music transposed into the small bedrooms of the disaffected youth in the small towns of the heartland. Those bands had rediscovered country and folk music for the hardcore generation: their descendants dumped hardcore for the most spartan and traditional of sounds. Led by singer-songwriters Jay Farrar and Jeff Tweedy, Uncle Tupelo (1) pretty much invented a new genre when they released No Depression (1990), a collection of country ballads played with the fury of hardcore. Abandoning the punk edge and focusing on the depressed stories, the acoustic tour de force of March 16-20 1992 (1992) invented more than a genre: it created a movement for sincere, populist and political music. Anodyne (1993) hinted at the mainstream appeal of this idea. After they parted ways, the two leaders would form two of the most influential bands of the 1990s: Son Volt and Wilco.

  • One-On-One with Grant-Lee Phillips, Past Rolling Stone Male Vocalist of the Year July 29, 2019 | by Chris Berggren, CDL Administrative Assistant
    One-on-One with Grant-Lee Phillips, Past Rolling Stone Male Vocalist of the Year July 29, 2019 | By Chris Berggren, CDL Administrative Assistant Grant-Lee Phillips came to prominence in the 1990s with his band Grant Lee Buffalo. Originally from Stockton, California, Phillips, who is a registered member of the Creek Native American tribe, traveled south to Los Angeles to study film, but instead found himself caught up in LA’s blossoming In die rock scene. He formed Shiva Burlesque, a band that released a pair of al bums, before founding Grant Lee Buffalo, which doubled that output. While Grant Lee Buffalo was acclaimed among critics and artists alike (Phillips was named 1996 Rolling Stone Male Vocalist of the Year and Michael Stipe of R.E.M claimed their 1993 record Fuzzy was the album of the year), the band struggled to find commercial success. Phillips disbanded the group in 1999 and shifted gears toward a solo career. Since 2000, Phillips has released eight albums of original material and another of covers, paying homage to his favorite music from the 1980s. Known for soulful vocals and intricate song construction, Phillips has a loyal following and continues to attract new fans, old and young. Recently, I had an opportunity to talk with Grant-Lee in-depth about his musical journey. Here's what he had to say: Q You moved from Stockton, California to LA to study film…was music part of the journey at that point or did priorities change once you got to LA? A Well, film school, in my mind was a legitimate excuse to move to LA and get a real job, but let’s take it a few steps back, since we’re starting at the beginning.
