Kurt Vile: Singer-Songwriter in New York

About Kurt Vile

Kurt Vile is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer whose work sits in the rock/pop lane, often released under the banner Kurt Vile & the Violators. He first became widely known through his own records and from a stint as lead guitarist in the War on Drugs. In concert he typically plays with the Violators, a steady backing unit that shapes the loose, unhurried momentum of his songs. In New York City he brings that full-band format to rooms like the Brooklyn Paramount.
