The Bridge Hotel Presents
KURT VILE & the Violators
If you’re a sucker for a guitar pedal and an extended solo, a Kurt Vile show is your jam. Over a couple of decades, Kurt Vile has perfected his own strand of blissed-out guitar rock, balancing catchiness with being “fried,” as he likes to put it. Philly’s “Constant Hitmaker” peppers his raw material with what Pitchfork has called “stoner-dad observations”, delivered in the deadpan of Lou Reed.
Stereogum has hailed him “the beloved and reliable purveyor of a hazy, zoned-out, weirdo brand of classicist rock” and his ninth album, titled (watch my moves), was voted Triple R Album Of The Week in 2022. His live shows are laidback and unvarnished, and all the more charming for it.

Vile’s limitless charm and languid drawl have a way of making even the heaviest affliction seem bearable, if not a low-key hoot.
