Biografía
His career began in earnest in the late sixties, when he joined the pub rock outfit Kippington Lodge; the band would later be renamed after its other key member, Lowe’s friend, Brinsley Schwarz. He was with the band for a tumultuous seven years, which saw them struggle to establish credibility outside of the London pub circuit; nevertheless, some of his most enduring songs were written during that time, including ‘(What’s So Funny ‘Bout) Peace, Love & Understanding’, which would later be a huge hit for Elvis Costello.
In the late seventies, Lowe began to release solo material, often named as humorous ripostes to huge records of the time; ‘Bowi’ was a play on David Bowie’s ‘Low’, and the album ‘Max’ by The Rumour was produced by Lowe, who apparently designated it as an ‘answer’ to ‘Rumours’ by Fleetwood Mac. He’s written a slew of songs known best for their cover versions - including ‘The Beast in Me’, covered by his then-father-in-law, Johnny Cash - as well as songs like ‘Cruel to Be Kind’ that were hits for Lowe - and Schwarz - in their own right. He’s no longer active as a producer, but continues to write, record and tour - he played the main stage at Hyde Park’s British Summer Time event in July 2013.

I've only seen Nick Lowe twice, Seattle '91 and Chicago/Evanston 2013. He plays a solid acoustic of country/roadhouse rock. But original know as 'The Jesus of Power Pop', I love those compositions the most, 'So it Goes', 'Cruel, to be Kind', 'What's so Funny 'bout Peace, Love and Understanding (made famous by Elvis Costello), 'Switchboard Susan' and 'Breaking Glass' to name a few.
He's surviving pop/rock artist who is comfortable in his skin, relatable to his audience and sincerely looks like he is enjoying himself.

He was so amazing over an hour and a half and oncore performance as well ! Did many of his old hits and then from his newer albums -cds did many of my favorites songs like I live on a battlefield, cruel to be kind and what's so funny about peace love and understanding , if you like songs the tell you something he sure has those . Hope he comes back around again would go again !

Nick was fabulous as usual, and Los Straightjackets provided some great energy and fun. St Andrews is such a classic venue and perfect for an intimate show. Set was old favorites mixed with some new songs as well as some surprises you rarely hear. Nick looked to be having as much fun as the audience! Really great evening.

Great concert with superb set list. Particularly loved his last encore. Los Straitjackets were sublime. Not sure how he condensed a lifetime of effort into a couple of hours. Delightful support from a local girl.

Fantastic blend of songs from different eras.
Nick and Los Straits really take the time to interact with the audience in between and during songs.
Great sound system - very clear and not overpowering.
