John Grant will return to Italy in December with two live shows: Thursday 10 December at Teatro Verdi in Busseto, as part of the Barezzi Festival, and Friday 11 December at Arci Bellezza in Milan. Tickets for the Emilia date are already available, priced between 33 and 40 euros plus booking fees on Postoriservato.it, while tickets for the Milan show are on sale for 24.99 euros on Dice.fm.
A former member of Czars, Grant has built a solid solo career over the years, now spanning six albums. The latest, "The Art Of Lie" (2024), picks up and expands on the lyrical and musical density of his previous work, marking a new high point, or perhaps a new starting point, for the American musician. John Grant has proven skilled at choosing partners for his projects: after Cate Le Bon, it's Ivor Guest's turn in the producer's chair, a choice driven by John and Ivor's shared passion for Brigitte Fontaine, and it's the producer who's responsible for the elegant balance between chamber-folk and electronics.
"The Art Of Lie" showcases sharper songwriting set within a carefully crafted, layered sound. Amid cinematic touches, dense synthesizers and more exposed passages, the album tackles themes such as identity, memory and disillusionment with a direct approach, confirming Grant's stature as a songwriter.
