Gill Landry is a two-time Grammy award winning singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist.

He’s touring through 2020 in support of his new album ‘Skeleton At The Banquet’, his fifth studio album and the follow-up to 2017’s Love Rides A Dark Horse (Loose/ATO). “This album is a series of reflections and thoughts on the collective hallucinations of America,” he tells us. “With a love song or two thrown in for good measure. I wrote it from within the refuge of a small flat, in a small village in western France where I spent last summer. I found it to be a good place for seeing the forest through the trees, so to speak.”
The album was recorded and produced in Los Angeles by Gill and Seth Ford-Young (Tom Waits,Edward Sharpe). It features Landry on vocals, guitars, pedal steel, keys & harmonica, Seth Ford-Young on bass, Josh Collazo on drums, Stewart Cole on trumpet and Odessa Jorgensen on violin.
‘Skeleton At The Banquet’ will be released 24 January 2020 on Loose and Rubber Tramp Records
