   About Grant-Lee Phillips

October 6, 2009
Hello Friend,

Oct 13th is just around the corner. That’s the street date for LITTLE MOON, my brand new CD. There’s been such great enthusiasm regarding the upcoming release. Many have pre-ordered the CD through Yeprock, Amazon.com and other outlets. Some have even received the album early. A small box of the finished CDs arrived on my doorstep just this week. I’m thrilled to say the final product looks and sounds beautiful. In this digital age, it’s nice to finally hold a physical disc in hand. A lot of us do our listening in the car but if you’re feeling old school, you might make a dash for the vinyl release of LITTLE MOON as well. There’s only a small batch so get ‘em while they're hot. You must see Director Andrew Van Baal’s video short “Little Moon – At Home With Grant-Lee Phillips” It’s an intimate piece that captures the band and I performing live in the living room, speaking candidly about the music and recording process. I think it’s a nice introduction to the new songs. We set up close together as we normally do for rehearsal and just did our thing. Andrew shot and edited the piece and Ryan Freeland, who engineered/mixed the CD covered the audio. This video, along with my home-made videos "Little Moon - Behind The Scenes" and "Good Morning Happiness" can be enjoyed on my youtube channel by clicking here. Says Director Andrew Van Baal, "Making this video reminded me of an article I read awhile back in The New York Times about "house concerts" - a supposedly rising trend whereby professional musicians put on intimate shows in homeowners' living rooms. I felt like I was watching such a concert - warm, casual and personal - even while I was occupied with the logistics of filming it. Hopefully viewers of the video will get the same feeling; for me the comfort and warmth of the location and the band's performance, along with Ryan Freeland's crystal-clear sound recording and the sharp details of the HD image really capture the warm, welcoming feeling of Grant's new songs."

New Concert dates are regularly being updated. November finds me in the North Eastern part of the US with special guests, Winterpills of Northhampton, MA. They’re an incredible group and their 2008 CD Central Chambers is a must have. This semi acoustic tour will feature many songs from LITTLE MOON and some old gems that I'll be performing solo and with members of Winterpills.

   I have to say, Grant, I don't think I've ever heard you speak, and not sing...it's funny how we develop that image of someone (n.b. I spelled it as one word!) based on just their singing voice...it's like a myth. And then I heard you talkin for the first time, and thought, huh-... it's really interesting how you transform your vocal cords...how the hell did you learn to sing so well and in such a way? I imagine you had a cultured upbringing of some kind, as successfull heroes usually do , hah hah...Thanks for the videos, hope there is more to come. ...mucho love, Dee

Today I would like to let you know about two print magazines in Germany I'm writing for.

"Living Line Dance", reporting about line dance and country music, and "Folk Magazine", reporting about folk and country music. The magazines are high respected in Europe. They offer you a good chance to publicize yourself in Europe and Germany.

For more information, please contact me at MySpace or send email to Ch.Lamitschka@t-online.de with the headline "Advertise at Living Line Dance and Folk Magazine".

Warm regards

Christian

Much love *and* kisses to the new smile-generating, hip-gyrating music.  I hope it does ridiculously well, to the point I hope you make a video for Strangest Thing set in Folsom Prison with a Johnny Cash backed by a Miley Cyrus dancing with a black Jesus figure who morphs into a Michael Jackson impersonator - maybe a video within a video shot by a Roman Polanski as Folsom Prison inmate in handcuffs yet magically holding a camera - all so that the album will get the air play and attention it deserves.  Sadly, these are the Ain't-The-Same-Old-Cold-War-Harried Times in which we live - where scandal may be the surest way for good music to sell as well as bad.

just wanted to let you know I pre-ordered Little Moon and it is super great. That is all I have been listening to for a week now. And I am so excited I just bought tickets to your show at the Jammin Java in Vienna, VA on November 20th. I can't wait to hear you live again, its been a long time since you have been in Virginia. Well take care and be safe with all your traveling. Hope your family is doing well, too!!!!!

 Virginia Creeper is amazing... I listen to those songs again and again, wondering about the mystery of your craft. You have such intelligence, Man...and it's really important to have some one like yourself giving us songs...that are so well done- I love the violin touches...Anyway, looking forward to the new stuff as well. Strangest Thing is really cool. ..Take Care ...

NEW 2009 ISSUE FOR  Lepers Produtcions
It’s free, more than ever, at  www.lepers.it
lprs038  - Luke Lukas - llll
Luke Lukas is back with  an album full of that gleeful gloom that made us love him at first sight. His trustworthy 4-tracks and him go their separate ways so he's now presenting 12 perfectly arranged folk songs to us. Luke reveals himself as a kind soul, but like the western movies taught us, a dreadful killer always hides under every placid looking Texan.
 "Leaving his strongly lo-fi sound that impressed us the first time, he treasures the recipe, packing in this new plain, delightful work a caring love for vocals, which are worthy of Neutral Milk hotel, with a touch of Chordettes feel." Daniele Dileo - Lab Magazine
