JEFFERSON GRIZZARD ANNOUNCES FALL TOUR WITH WILLIE NILE
Brings Fans His Gritty and Honest-To-God
Songs with Learning How To Lie
“Tom Waits meets the Stones at the Heartbreak Hotel.” Willie Nile
Back Porch Syndicate Music Inc 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. This fall he will embark a fall tour with Willie Nile starting October 22 in Ithaca, NY through November 27 Rahway, NJ.
“I’m thrilled to be on this US tour with Willie Nile,” 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. Great album.”
As the year winds down and the new one begins, he will release another one, Daydream Of Hope for January.
