Robert Fisher, the singer, songwriter, bandleader and mythmaker behind America’s great Willard Grant Conspiracy, will be making his way to Australia and New Zealand in September to showcase songs from their incredible new album, ‘Pilgrim Road’.
‘Pilgrim Road’ continues Fisher’s journey down the deep, dark path of Gothic Americana. This time around he is aided and abetted by a cast that includes Scottish folk icon Jackie Leven, as well as member of Lambchop and The Walkabouts.
