NEWS: JEFFERSON GRIZZARD ANNOUNCES TOUR WITH GLENN TILBROOK

September 22, 2014 • Leave a Comment

Singer/songwriter/guitarist Jefferson Grizzard is rapidly making a name for himself, thanks to his latest release, 'Learning How to Lie,' and stylistic comparisons to the likes of Wilco and Ryan Adams. And from late September through late October, Grizzard will undoubtedly be turning heads and winning over new fans, when he opens a string of dates for Glenn Tilbrook (yes, that "Glenn Tilbrook" from Squeeze fame!) throughout the US. "I'm thrilled to be on this US tour with Glenn Tilbrook," enthuses Grizzard. "It's a great opportunity for me to get the chance to work with him."

The Georgia native is best described as either a "poetic singer/songwriter with his roots in American Rock" or "'65 Dylan and the Hawks meet Cohen and Petty," and the proof is in the music throughout 'Learning How to Lie,' which runs the gamut from rocking tunes ("Long Time Coming") to ballads ("Lorelei"), and also strikes a chord lyrically (especially the title track, which offers commentary on the human condition).

And Grizzard's talents are being recognized by his peers, including fellow singer-songwriter Willie Nile, who has had praise for the new release (and even contributes vocals to a bonus track, "When Levon Sings"). “Brilliant new CD by Jefferson Grizzard. Thunder and lightning in letters from the underground. Strangers and outcasts learning how to lie in the search for truth and salvation. Tom Waits meets the Stones at the Heartbreak Hotel. Great album.”

This autumn, fans (and soon-to-be-fans) will be able to able to experience the talents of Mr. Grizzard and Mr. Tilbrook on a nearby concert stage.
