🎵
A Louisiana native, Gill’s journey began as a busker living out of Volkswagens between the streets of New Orleans and the Pacific Northwest. Immersed himself in the rich tapestry of American folk music led him to join the ranks of the Nashville group Old Crow Medicine Show, whom he worked with from their van-and-trailer days to Grammy triumphs and induction into the Grand Ole Opry. In 2015, Landry left the band to pursue his solo creative endeavors.
Across six solo albums on various labels, he reveals a remarkable versatility and unwavering commitment to his craft. With an ever-evolving voice and rich poetic lyrics, his compositions defy genre constraints, seamlessly blending styles that can range from a cinematic grandeur to intimate introspection.Collaborating with a diverse array of esteemed musicians over the years, Landry’s crafted a body of recordings that resonate with both timelessness and innovation.
A seasoned troubadour, he’s shared stages with a diverse array of artists and friends over the years, including Laura Marling, Justin Townes Earle, Brandi Carlile, The Felice Brothers, Mumford & Sons, Michael Hurley, Ben Howard, Bruce Hornsby, Warren Haynes, Nathaniel Rateliff, along with a host of unknown legends.
Gill's latest album, 'Cinnamon Canyon Blues,' will be released on June 7th, 2024. Here’s a bit about the album in his own words:
“Accidentally homeless at the start of the pandemic, I landed on a few hundred acres of blue oaks, lupine, and dust called Cinnamon Canyon in the Sierra Nevada Foothills. What I thought would only be months, of course, became years. Plenty long enough for the land to break me in all the ways I unknowingly needed breaking. After finding myself naked on the kitchen floor, howling like a wounded animal, it was all up from there. I spent the next two years writing this album like my life depended on it while living in near-total isolation but for a barn cat named "Killer". It turned out that instead of falling from grace, I unwittingly fallen into it, and my time on the mountain completely altered the way I look at life and the world. This album is a document of some of that journey. A portrait of certain understandings that came from a sort of death and rebirth.
It was recorded in London with the help of my friends. Produced by Ted Dwane (Mumford & Sons), Paul Frith, and myself. It features Chris Maas (Mumford & Sons, Maggie Rogers, Sting) on drums, Nick Pini (Laura Marling and anyone who know's what's up) on bass, Klara Soderberg (First Aid Kit) on backing vocals, Nick Etwell (Mumford, Filthy 6) on Trumpet and Flugelhorn, Georgina Leach & Odessa Jorgensen on violin, and Malcolm "Bubba" McCarthy on keys.”
