Nanci Griffith live at The Lowry
Fri 5 February 2010
Grammy award-winning singer-songwriter Nanci Griffith performs tracks from her latest album The Loving Kind at The Lowry next month.
The Texan singer is well known for her cover version of Julie Gold’s classic From A Distance. She began to write songs at the age of 6 and has recorded 18 albums and performed across the world.
The Loving Kind finds Nanci Griffith at the top of her game as she explores emotions, personalities, and relationships in her own unique style.
Griffith explains that her approach to song writing hasn’t changed over the years “Even when working with collaborators, the idea driving the session has to be very strong. If we don’t get something in twenty minutes, I’m done. It’s a very unique process and I don’t write with a lot of people. Charley Stefl, I’ve known since I was 16 years old and writing with him is always a joy. Thomm Jutz is very easy to write with because he’s also my guitar player and he just knows my brain, and knows me musically.”
