Description

You may recognize Grant-Lee Phillips as the town troubadour from everyone's favorite show, Gilmore Girls. Phillips led the group Grant Lee Buffalo in the 1990s, afterward launching his own solo career. His latest album, All That You Can Dream stemmed from his realization in early 2021 that touring was still on hold. He wrote and recorded his album at home “I found respite in the process when I could do little else,” he says. “It became a sort of meditation on this time in my life and the events that we’ve collectively experienced.” The resulting full-length, All That You Can Dream, is understandably introspective as it’s anchored by Phillips’ empathetic voice and rich acoustic guitar. The album’s lyrics attempt to make sense of an uncertain, anxiety-riddled time while coming to terms with the idea that once-unshakeable things now seem fragile or fallible. “In terms of subject matter, I found that the circumstances of being off the road, and left to reflect on what this time feels like, produced a different kind of song,” Phillips says. “I wasn’t entirely certain—and to be honest, I’m still not altogether certain—when I get to take these songs on the road. In some ways, that freed me up to write and record the kind of song that was personal and executed as though it were for an audience of myself alone. That's freeing" Tickets cost $40 per person.
