John Grant and Bonny Light Horseman

John Grant, born in Michigan, delivers unfiltered ballads on life as a gay man. Known for his rich baritone and dry wit, he blends synth pop and alt-country. After his band the Czars, he went solo with albums like Queen of Denmark and Grey Tickles, Black Pressure, and garnered acclaim for their personal and political insights. He collaborates with artists like Midlake, Cater Le Bon, and was nominated for the 2014 Brit Awards. Now based in Iceland, Grant's music continues to capture themes of family, religion, and politics.
