Gruff Rhys

Wales born pan-disciplinarian Gruffydd Maredudd Bowen Rhys is best known for fronting the mighty Super Furry Animals, but has also produced sterling work with Gorillaz, Danger Mouse and his own Neon Neon project. He's here to perform from American Interior—an album and investigative project, based on his search for the grave of a long lost 18th Century relative, John Evans, who spent his life hunting for a lost tribe of Welsh-speaking Native Americans. Take a moment to digest that. As well as performing selections from the record, Rhys will show a PowerPoint presentation of snaps from his own expedition into the American interior. Curious? Behold it all at the Echo.
