Artist Bio
Willard Grant Conspiracy is the musical collective that surrounds songwriter Robert Fisher. With their last five records (Regard the End, Everything's Fine, Mojave, Flying Low, and 3am Sunday At Fortune Otto's) and their brand new album Let it Roll, the band has quietly gone about putting together one of the most impressive catalogs in the alt.country / post punk-folk rock genres. The records have been met with critical acclaim and have been included in many critical best-of lists (Uncut, Mojo, Pitchfork etc)..
The band has a loose configuration that allows its members to be involved as they are available, in order to support all of their musical and life interests. But make no mistake—this is ensemble playing and a real band no matter how many participants are present. Currently based in the California desert where Robert lives, musicians from Massachusetts, Arizona, New York, London, Holland, are all part of the whole depending on who can play, when the playing begins and where the tour ends. This flexible lineup along with a dedication to improvisational playing ensures that every show is truly unique. Instruments include acoustic guitar, mandolin, pump organ, violin, cello, viola, piano, trumpet, drums, bass, accordion, electric guitar, and lap steel. The sound can be as quiet and warm as 3am on a winter’s morning before the last embers in the fireplace or as soulful and boisterous as a Sunday Morning Gospel service.
