The Beary Beary Delicious John Grant Comes To The Neptune March 31st

The delicious out gay singer songwriter JOHN GRANT is on his first tour in 7 years and he’s coming to Seattle Theatre Group’s Neptune Theatre on March 31st for a big concert. The tour is in support of his new record,  The Art of the Lie which is out now via [PIAS] Recordings.

John first came to the attention of alternative rock music fans back in the Nineties when he was the frontman for the alt-rock band the Czars which had success for over 10 years before breaking up in 2006. Grant took a 4 year break from music before starting his solo career but a positive HIV diagnosis sidelined him for a few years. He’s also battled booze, drug and sex addictions over the years (like many gay men).

The album title and content are inspired by a certain Orange Blob in the White House…from the press release:

More from the pr:

It was produced by Ivor Guest (Grace Jones, Brian Eno, Lana Del Rey). In part, the record digs into the lies that we have been told by groups – specifically in the U.S. – and how these fragment our thinking.

John has been featured in Attitude, Pitchfork, NPR and Rolling Stone before and his list of friends range from Elton John (read the Guardian conversation here) to Tilda Swinton and Paul Rudd (conversation here). He spent much of the last decade coming to terms with being HIV positive while recovering from drug/alcohol/sex addiction – more on that HERE.
