Nick Lowe

As the house producer at Stiff Records, Nick Lowe helped shape the early output of Elvis Costello, The Damned, and The Pretenders, in addition to throwing his own wickedly cool pop daggers. After the ’80s, Lowe traded new wave for roots-rock and country (see 2007’s At My Age), but he still earns bragging rights as a “Godfather Of Punk” for reviving the three-minute rock single, as well as penning barbed classics such as “(What’s So Funny ‘Bout) Peace, Love, And Understanding.” Expect songs from across Lowe’s career on the current run of dates, which marks the first time in a decade that he's toured the States with a full band.
