Grec 2015: Lambchop

Singer-songwriter and guitarist Kurt Wagner is the central point that anchors the ever-changing line-ups of Lambchop, a band with a quiet but far-reaching influence on US alternative music. Since the band’s formation in Nashville in the 1990s, they’ve developed an alt-country style that also draws on a thousand-and-one sources of inspiration, including soul and blues from Wagner’s home town of Memphis. In 2012, they released their 11th album, titled Mr. M, a series of meditations on love, loss and the little miseries of everyday life.
