Brudenell Presents: An Intimate Piano Performance from Lampchop
After a run of memorable shows, including appearances at London’s Barbican and Primavera Sound, Lambchop return to Europe and the UK for a new series of intimate performances.
Lambchop has consisted of a large and fluid collective of musicians focused around its creative centre, frontman Kurt Wagner. Initially indebted to traditional country, the band’s music has subsequently moved through a range of influences including post-rock, soul and lounge music. Whatever the style, the characteristic mood of Lambchop’s music is evoked by Wagner’s distinctive song writing: lyrically subtle and ambiguous, the vocals melodic but understated.
Taking place in intimate venues across Europe and the UK, these shows offer a rare chance to experience Lambchop up close, with Kurt Wagner’s unmistakable voice and song writing at the centre.
He will be joined by Minneapolis-based musician and producer Andrew Broder, his close collaborator on the recent Lambchop albums The Bible and Showtunes. Together they’ve developed a live approach that feels loose, curious and alive, where songs can stretch, shift and quietly transform from night to night. In this stripped-back setting, Wagner and Broder open the songs up and follow wherever they lead, letting space, electronics and improvisation reshape familiar material in unexpected ways.
For long-time listeners and curious newcomers alike, this tour finds Lambchop still searching, still evolving and still surprising.
