Grant-Lee Phillips

Studio 360

You may know Grant-Lee Phillips as the “Town Troubadour” on the TV show “The Gilmore Girls” — but he’s also a veteran of the alternative rock scene who has been charming audiences with his velvety vocals since the early 1990’s. Grant-Lee tells Kurt about how he started off doing vaudeville, and performs live in Studio 360 from his new album Strangelet.
