The inventive artist, known for his dulcet baritone and unique brand of melodic chamber-pop, is joined by singers from LCV Choir for a special one-off intimate show with voice and piano. Supported by alt-pop songstress Faultress.

John Grant's recent successes include a Top 10 UK chart entry for his new album Boy From Michigan, which also topped the vinyl charts; a broadsheet front cover in-conversation interview with Sir Elton John; and an expanding list of sold-out shows across the UK.

His debut album was voted MOJO Magazine's best of 2010 and since then Grant's profile has risen through a series of rapturously received and chart-bothering albums that entwined acutely melodic chamber-pop with darkly glittering dance music tropes. Against this brooding and inventive backdrop and channelled through his glorious dulcet baritone, Grant unleashed autobiographical laments and diatribes, as painful and intimate as they were caustic and savagely funny.

Over time, Grant has established himself as one of the great musical chroniclers of the American Dream, angled mostly from its flipside, where your dreams go to die and everything turns to ash. Grant knows America well enough to document it in microscopic, painterly detail, which draws the listener in to a specific sense of place, before untangling its significance with a rich cast-list of local characters.
