JOHN GRANT @ The Lemon Grove Exeter

Event information

The former frontman of alternate rock band The Czars, John Grant brings his effortlessly rich baritone couched with his typically heart-breaking, lush melodies to the Exeter Lemon Grove on the 16th October 2013.

It is almost impossible to unpick John Grant's music from his personal life. He has suffered homophobic abuse, parental rejection, agoraphobia, depression, drug addiction and alcoholism, and was recently diagnosed HIV positive. 'Pale Green Ghosts', Grant's album released earlier this year, is centred around such issues- yet the way John Grant has moulded such miserable issues into 'warm, funny and exquisite pieces of music' make his live performances according to the Guardian 'undeniably magical'. 'Pale Green Ghosts' has since received numerous plaudits from critics, including 5 stars out of 5 from the Guardian music and 9 stars out of 10 from Clash Magazine, making it one of the albums of the year.

John Grant will be performing a limited amount of live shows in England in 2013, so we are very happy for the opportunity to bring John Grant to Exeter! Support acts TBA.
