Bio
John Grant is an American singer/songwriter from Denver, Colorado and former lead vocalist with Bella Union cult favorites The Czars. He returned in April 2010 with a critically acclaimed debut solo album recorded with Midlake.
This isn’t the first time a contemporary male vocalist has performed the repertoire of a long-gone female musical icon – Rufus Wainwright’s Judy Garland concerts being, arguably, the most well known.
John Grant with Richard Hawley and his band (on guitar and lap steel Shez Sheridan, master of keyboards John Trier, Dean Beresford on drums and on bass Colin Elliot), brought their tribute to Patsy Cline to a sold-out Barbican for a night of memorable songs
