Philadelphia folk rocker and former lead guitarist of the War on Drugs, Kurt Vile pulls his talents as a singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer in unexpected directions - and the result is vibrant, yet meditative music propelled by laid-back charm and curious spirit.
Influenced by and often compared to the likes of Pavement, Tom Petty, John Prine, Neil Young, Ween, Dinosaur Jr., and John Fahey, his signature brand of laid-back and meandering rock, as demonstrated on his numerous UK Top 40 albums, takes centre stage with his backing band The Violators.
