On October 1st Nick Lowe and Elvis Costello will share the stage and a band (longtime associates Bill Kirchen and Austin Delone, as well as Bob Andrews will be featured players) for a very special night at San Francisco's Great American Music Hall.During an early and late set, "Costello Sings Lowe / Nick Sings Elvis" will find the two legends performing hits from each others' iconic catalogs for one night only.
Nick Lowe is widely known for his production of Elvis Costello's early albums, helping to shape the now legendary songwriters sound. Lowe also penned "(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love and Understanding)," while Lowe returned the favor covering Costello's "Indoor Fireworks" in 1985.
As previously announced, Nick Lowe will return to the U.S. for a full-band tour, his first tour in this configuration in a decade. Ex-collaborator and pub rock icon Graham Parker will open several shows solo.
