Nick Lowe and Los Straitjackets.

Nick Lowe's musical life has ranged far and wide in various bands: '60s Britpop (Kippington Lodge); hippie pub rock (Brinsley Schwarz); pretend bands making fun of pop stars (the Tartan Horde); being a pop star as a solo artist (“Cruel to Be Kind” and other hits); and as a legendary producer (The Damned, John Hiatt, Elvis Costello). The last couple decades have seen Lowe roll all those past lives into a sort of elder statesman and incisive songwriter/interpreter role. Lowe is back on the road this fall with another Quality Rock & Roll Revue, backed by frequent collaborators Los Straitjackets.
