Elvis Costello, born D.P. MacManus in London, is one of the most influential and versatile figures in contemporary music. He rose to fame in the late 1970s with his debut album My Aim Is True, blending punk, new wave, and pop influences. Over his five-decade career, Costello has released more than 35 albums, including landmark records like Get Happy, Imperial Bedroom, and King of America. His music spans genres from rock and pop to jazz, classical, and country, often blending sharp lyrical wit with diverse musical styles.
Steve Nieve, a fellow Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, has been a member of Costello’s backing bands The Attractions, The Imposters, and Madness in a career spanning more than 40 years. The collaboration between Costello and Nieve spans over 45 years, with appearances together on 25 record albums — from Watching The Detectives to The Boy Named If — and on countless stages.
Join these two legends as they take you on a journey through their storied songbook.
