Grin - "Grin" with Brian K and the Parkway
Manage episode 449578764 series 3603193
In this episode of the DC Rock History Podcast, we dive into the career-launching debut album from one of DC’s own—Nils Lofgren—and his band Grin’s self-titled 1971 album. Known for his electrifying performances with Bruce Springsteen and Neil Young, Nils Lofgren first made his mark right here in the DC area. Growing up in Bethesda, Maryland, Nils got his start in local bands and quickly became one of the area’s most in-demand guitarists. With Grin, he created a distinct blend of rock, folk, and West Coast polish that captured a unique moment in early ’70s music.
Recorded at the famed Wally Heider Studios in San Francisco, Grin’s debut album balances raw rock energy with melodic sophistication, highlighting Lofgren’s guitar prowess and lyrical depth. Join hosts Philip Basnight and Alex Vidales, along with guest Brian & Stephen of Brian K. & The Parkway, as they explore this pivotal album. They discuss standout tracks like “Like Rain” and “18 Faced Lover,” along with the influence of Lofgren’s time in DC’s vibrant teen club scene and his early collaboration with Neil Young on After the Gold Rush.
We’ll also trace Grin’s impact on the DC rock landscape, reflecting on other influential bands of the era and the legacy of DC’s dynamic live music circuit. Whether you’re a longtime fan of Lofgren’s work or just discovering his roots, tune in as we celebrate Grin and its place in DC’s rock history.
