Elvis Costello and Steve Nieve come to The Grand as a part of a 15-date tour playing selections from a songbook that is fifty years long and twice as deep.
These dates follow on from the acclaimed Costello & Nieve tours of 2023/4 which traveled from the Palau de la Música, Barcelona to the Oslo Opera House and from the Béla Bartók Concert Hall Budapest to the Paris Philharmonie - augmented by trumpet, reeds, cell and percussion before visiting Japan and playing three sold-out shows in Tokyo and one night in Osaka, in April 2024.
Elvis Costello and Steve Nieve have been cohorts and bandmates since 1977, appearing together on more than twenty-five recordings and performing on stages from the Grosse Freiheit 36 in Hamburg to the Royal Albert Hall in London, debuting songs such as “Accidents Will Happen” and “Shot With His Own Gun” with only piano accompaniment and playing their first two-man shows in 1995, then undertaking “The Lonely World Tour” together in 2003.
Steve Nieve is a member of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, as a member of Elvis Costello and the Attractions and the composer of “Welcome To The Voice,” an opera written with Muriel Teodori, which was produced at the Théâtre du Châtelet, Paris and later recorded for Deutsche Grammophon. He has played with Elvis Costello and The Imposters since 2002.
