by Greg Graffin, frontman of acclaimed Los Angeles punk rock band Bad Religion and a renowned author, has announced a series of live performances in support of his forthcoming solo album, Millport, which arrives March 10th, via Anti-.
The new album, which was produced by Graffin’s longtime Bad Religion collaborator, Brett Gurewitz, delivers a stirring, though perhaps unexpected reinterpretation of the classic Laurel Canyon country-rock sound alongside the singer-songwriter’s insightful lyricism.
The album features the Bad Religion frontman backed by a core of esteemed colleagues from the Los Angeles punk scene including Social Distortion members Jonny “Two Bags” Wickersham, Brent Harding and David Hidalgo Jr. The result is less a musical reinvention then a creative liberation — a group of veteran Los Angeles musicians playing a brand of music they have long loved.
Gaffin commented:
I’m really excited to play these songs live for people. Lyrically and musically this album feels incredibly relevant to my life and to the world around me. And it’s a sound and style that has always resonated with me. I feel like we were able to put a unique spin on it while keeping it totally honest and sincere.
Graffin will also be performing at the forthcoming 2017 SXSW Festival in March. Stay tuned for dates and locations.
