その後、Tanz Der Youthというバンドを結成した後、スティヴ・バートルズとThe Lords of the New Churchというグループを立ち上げ、80年代初頭に数枚のアルバムをリリースした。 ソロアルバムも数多くリリースしており、最新作は2015年の『The Guitar That Dripped Blood』である。
The 1975については大きなサプライズと言えるでしょう。また、ニール・ヤングに関してはブッキングが行われていたという報道が数ヶ月前にありました。ヤング氏がグラストンベリーのプロモーションに関して苦言を呈したという噂があり、出演を辞退するのではないかという話でしたが、今回の出演決定により、噂を一蹴した形に。また、最終日のヘッドライナーを務めるオリヴィア・ロドリゴは今最も注目を集める世界的なロックアーティスト。最終日のヘッドライナーとして全く違和感がありません。

New England-based singer/songwriter Grace Morrison has released a playful new song, "Beer in a Teacup". Check out the music video for the song below.
"Beer in a Teacup” is a song that is routinely played on American local radio. On the other hand, however, one rarely hears songs like this in Japan. It is a condensation of musical quality that is different from commerciality. The multi-layered nature of music - this is where the greatest appeal of American music lies.
The song is a twang-filled anthem about embracing imperfections and letting self doubt roll off your shoulders. It is an ode to her grandma who sipped beer out of a Victorian teacup with a saucer and didn't give a damn about what people thought about her.
The single is off of her highly anticipated forthcoming album Saltwater Country, an ode to her hometown of Cape Cod and her cranberry growing family. The music is a charismatic blend of folk, country and pop and is produced by Jon Evans (Tori Amos, Sarah McLachlan). Grace Morrison has collaborated with hit songwriter Lori McKenna and has received praise from American Songwriter, and more.
「妊娠8ヶ月のとき、ロリが一緒に曲を書かないかと誘ってくれた。 Just Loving You "を書いたんだけど、今まで書いた中で一番個人的な曲だった。 この曲が観客とつながったのは、それまで経験したことのないことだった。 私は、自分の歌がより個人的で具体的であればあるほど、より心に響くことを学んだ。 自分の知っていることを書くんだ」。 アルバム『ソルトウォーター・カントリー』はその証だ。
ジョン・エヴァンス(トーリ・エイモス、サラ・マクラクラン)のプロデュースによるこのアルバムは、何も持たずに育ったことを生々しく反映した、硬質で湿った「Poor Man's Daughter」から、不完全さを受け入れ、自己への疑念を肩の荷から降ろすことを歌った、楽しげでトワングに満ちた「Beer in a Teacup」まで幅広い。 このリード・シングルは、ビクトリア調のソーサー付きティーカップでビールを飲み、人にどう思われようと気にしなかった彼女の祖母への頌歌だ。
If nerditude had a formal name, it would be Grace Morrison. She lives a life of freedom, free from the concept of a profession.
She’s a little bit of everything—pianist, accordion player, Renaissance Faire performer, cranberry grower, reader of historical nonfiction, coffee devotee (she sells her own coffee blend), and an unapologetic expert on all things New England. And somehow, all these quirks weave seamlessly into the fabric of her music, making her one of the most unique and endearing songwriters around.
Born and raised on the shores of Cape Cod, Grace Morrison has trademarked a sound she calls Saltwater Country. “I was always too pop for folk and too folk for country. Eventually, I started peeling back the layers of my music to find out what truly made it mine. At the heart of it all was my deep, undeniable connection to the Cape Cod coastline—it’s in my blood, in my voice, in every lyric I write. My music carries the storytelling of country, the twang, but also the raw, unshakable spirit of a Swamp Yankee. That’s Saltwater Country.”
Proudly unconventional, she’s never held what some would call a "real job",She says “it’s always been music and how lucky am I that music has given me this wild, unpredictable journey through the human experience. I wouldn’t trade that for anything.”
Her career started when she was in high school playing at coffee shops, where she sang for tips—one of which came from none other than actor James Spader. “I still have the $20 he left me,” she laughs.
Not long after, she hit the road with Rock 4 Xmas, sharing the stage with legends like Eddie Money, Joey Molland (Badfinger), Carmine Appice (Vanilla Fudge, writer of Da Ya Think I’m Sexy), and Greg Douglass (Steve Miller Band, co-writer of Jungle Love).
“I was 17, on a tour bus with rock icons. You can’t ask for a better crash course in rock ‘n’ roll than that. I could tell you some stories,” she says with a knowing grin. “It was Spinal Tap in real life—literally, someone from that movie was on the tour. But for me, the biggest thing was realizing that this life—touring, performing—was possible. All I’ve wanted since then was to get back on that bus.”
In those early years, she struggled to define her own sound. “My dad was convinced I should be a blues singer—like he hadn’t even heard my voice,” she jokes. “It took time, but I finally figured out who I am as an artist. And that’s Saltwater Country.”
One of the defining moments in her journey came when she collaborated with hit songwriter Lori McKenna. “I was eight months pregnant when Lori invited me to write with her. We wrote "Just Loving You", and it was the most personal thing I had ever written. The way it connected with audiences—it was something I had never experienced before. I learned that the more personal and specific my songs are, the more they seem to resonate. You’ve got to write what you know.” Saltwater Country, the album, is a testament to that.
Saltwater Country takes the old adages of “3 chords and the truth” and “don’t bore us, get to the chorus”, wraps them up with a 90’s pop bow, and leaves the listener with a sound that is at once new and familiar.
Produced by Jon Evans (Tori Amos, Sarah McLachlan), the album ranges from the gritty, swampy "Poor Man’s Daughter"—a raw reflection on growing up with nothing—to the fun, twang filled "Beer in a Teacup", an anthem about embracing imperfections and letting self doubt roll off your shoulders. The leading single is an ode to her grandma who sipped beer out of a Victorian teacup with a saucer and didn't give a damn about what people thought about her.
It’s the sound of an artist who’s found her confidence, embraced her quirks, and learned that sometimes, when life gets messy, you just pour your beer in a teacup and move on.
