Nick Lowe

Singer/songwriter Lowe was one of the most influential figures of the latent British punk/new wave scene in the late 70′s. His penchant for writing perfect three-minute pop songs and his production of records for Elvis Costello, the Pretenders, and Graham Parker made him one of the most acclaimed new artists of the time. Since 1980′s “Cruel to Be Kind,” Lowe has leaned steadily more towards roots-rock and country. With his latest record, “At My Age,” Lowe has matured into a true country gentleman, re-establishing his place as one of the wittiest and most subtle craftsmen in pop music.
