An American singer-songwriter returns to Reykjavík
John Grant

John Grant last brought his moody melodies to Reykjavík for a performance at Harpa during Iceland Airwaves last fall. Now
he’s back for a solo show—still riding high off the rave reviews from his 2010 album ‘Queen of Denmark.’
John, a gay 43-year-old American, has reached audiences with lyrics of a troubled past. Some songs, like ‘JC Hates Fag-
gots,’ are fueled by memories of growing up in a small, homophobic town in Colorado. “I’ve felt uncomfortable since the day
I was born,” he sings. Life didn’t get much easier for John. He struck out at his attempt to become a German translator. After
fronting the ‘90s indie band The Czars, he coped with a midlife fallout stained by drug and alcohol abuse.
But out of the drugs, band breakup and homophobia, John resurrected himself. ‘Queen of Denmark’ earned a nod as
2010’s best album by the British magazine Mojo. His songs were also part of the soundtrack for the movie “The Weekend.”
Bearded and sardonic, John seems at ease during live shows, using soft rock sounds to pull music lovers into his life. CW
