Grant Lee Phillips has been writing and releasing critically acclaimed records since the early 1990s. His band, Grant Lee Buffalo, released four albums and toured extensively around the world before disbanding at the end of the decade. In 1995, he was named the critic's choice for best male vocalist, and in 1998, the GLB song, Truly, spent 13 weeks on the Billboard Charts, peaking at number 11. Phillips has released ten records as a solo artist to date, the most recent, Lightning Show us your Stuff, during the height of the pandemic in 2020.
In this episode, the renowned songwriter talks about the songwriting process, the records he's made since moving to Nashville, and about life as a working musician during a global shutdown.
