Rock guitarist, vocalist

Though he is undoubtedly better known for his work backing other, more famous musicians—most notably Bruce Springsteen and Neil Young—guitarist Nils Lofgren has had a reasonably impressive solo career in rock as well, having recorded more than a dozen solo albums since 1975. He has also enlivened his concerts with daring jumps and flips while playing guitar.

Born in Chicago in 1952, Lofgren grew up in Maryland, close to Washington, D.C. His musical education began with the accordion at the age of five, but by the time he hit 15, Lofgren, won over by the likes of The Beatles and Jimi Hendrix, found himself drawn to rock and roll—and the guitar. It was reportedly after seeing Hendrix in concert that Lofgren left school and fled to New York’s Greenwich Village, where, as a 16-year-old, he recorded a single for Sire Records with the band Dolphin.

By the late 1960s, Lofgren was fronting his own band, Grin, which he formed with drummer Bob Berberich and bass player Bob Gordon. Lofgren’s brother Tom later joined the band on guitar. It was Grin’s growing notoriety

that drew the attention of Neil Young, who invited Lofgren to work with him on Young’s After the Gold Rush (1970), to which Lofgren contributed vocals and piano. Lofgren nearly joined Young’s band Crazy Horse, as well, after contributing to the band’s 1971 debut.

Instead Lofgren pursued a rock future with his own band. But while Grin’s first two albums, 1971’s Grin and 1 + 1 in 1972, earned strong critical praise, their commercial fortunes were disappointing. After 1972’s All Out, Lofgren headed out on the road with Young. He returned to record Grin’s 1973 album Gone Crazy, but that turned out to be the band’s swan song. Facing financial woes and little prospect of attracting the audience some critics felt they deserved, Grin disbanded in 1974. "We were getting better than we had ever been, but the record company said, ‘Hey, you’re not selling enough albums, so you can’t make records anymore,’" Lofgren recalled to Jas Obrecht in Guitar Player. "We didn’t want to go back to doing Top 40 in nightclubs. We didn’t want to stagnate forever and live in the past. It was sad to break up, but other than that, the whole era and life of Grin itself was a very positive, exciting thing."

Having toured with Young on the Tonight’s the Nighttour in 1973, Lofgren was a logical choice to join Young in the studio for the 1975 album of the same name. Lofgren also released his first solo recording in 1975, a self-titled effort that included "Keith Don’t Go," a nod to Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones, and a cover of Carole King’s "Goin’ Back." Nils Lofgren is considered by a number of critics to be among his strongest efforts. Commenting on the album in the Rolling Stone Album Guide, Paul Evans called it "an absolute delight: solid rock delivered with infectious energy and great self-confidence." After that auspicious debut, Lofgren apparently stumbled somewhat on his next release, 1976’s Cry Tough, produced by Al Kooper. Some critics noted that while his musician ship was impressive, his vocals were decidedly less so.

If Cry Tough got mixed notices, the following year’s Came to Dance apparently fared even worse critically. After 1977’s double live album Night After Night, it was two years before Lofgren released another record. The wait was worth it, as 1979’s Nils was hailed as a strong return. The album featured three songs co-written with Lou Reed, who included another trio of the pair’s collaborative compositions on his own The Bells (1979). The single "Shine Silently," while never a chart hit, earned particular praises.

After inking a deal with Back street Records, Lofgren released Night Fades Away in 1981, followed by Wonderland in 1983. However, a week after Wonderland’s release, Lofgren said in a 1991 Rolling Stone article that after a new president took over the label, Lofgren was promptly dropped. "‘I had to look for a new deal, and to my horror I couldn’t get one,’" Lofgren told John Swenson in that story.

Lofgren again found refuge as a sideman, hitting the road with Young for the 1983 Trans tour. He then joined Springsteen’s E Street Band in 1984, replacing Little Steven Van Zandt. The union proved to be a solid one, with Lofgren remaining a member of the band until Springsteen opted to work without the group in 1991. The mid-1980s thus saw few solo releases from Lofgren, aside from two compilations and 1985’s Flip, which yielded a minor hit in the UK with the single "Secrets in the Street."

The recording break was apparently a welcome one for Lofgren, though. As he told David Simons in a 1998 article in Musician, "When I worked with Bruce, he completely removed that whole animal of making records and competing in the commercial world…. And that pause let me come back to my own music refreshed, feeling like my batteries were recharged, and ready for the next record."

After the lengthy stint as a Springsteen sideman, Lofgren toured with Ringo Starr as part of his All-Starr Band before focusing again on his solo career. For 1991’s Silver Lining, Lofgren’s musical friends returned the favor. The album featured the talents of Starr, Clarence Clemons, Levon Helm, Billy Preston, and Springsteen, who lent harmony vocals to the single "Valentine." As Swenson noted, the album reflected Lofgren’s maturation while maintaining "the high-energy guitar playing that Lofgren has been known for."

His maturation was in evidence in his next release, 1992’s Crooked Line, as well. Reviewing the album for Entertainment Weekly, Jim Farber called it the "toughest-sounding power-pop record since Matthew Sweet’s Girlfriend, not to mention the truest." Helping out this time was Young, who lent backing vocals and harmonica to "You" and played electric guitar on "Drunken Driver."

For a performer who has made his mark as player, it is perhaps fitting that Lofgren’s late 1990s efforts included two live records: 1997’s Code of the Road: Greatest Hits Live! and 1998’s Acoustic Live. While he never became the type of rock superstar he played backup for, by the 1990s Lofgren said he had learned to take comfort in playing live, which helikened to "therapy at this point" in a 1996 interview with Gregory Isola in Guitar Player. "I’ve had a real up-and-down career—that hit record has been elusive—but the audience has kept me going," he told Isola. "They don’t care what chart position you’re in or how many units you didn’t sell or what some executive thinks of you. They let you know instantly if you’ve knocked ‘em out—that’s liberating."

Biography

While singer/guitarist Nils Lofgren is better known for his work with Neil Young and Bruce Springsteen, his own solo career has produced a worthwhile, if inconsistent, body of work. Lofgren learned to play the accordion at age five and studied jazz and classical music as a child. He switched to rock guitar at 15 and formed the band Grin in 1969 with bassist Bob Gordon, drummer Bob Berberich, and later his brother Tom Lofgren on guitar. Grin quickly built a reputation around Washington, D.C., and Neil Young and Crazy Horse guitarist Danny Whitten caught wind of them while touring in the area. Young invited Lofgren to play piano and sing on 1970's After the Gold Rush, and he also played on and wrote two songs for Crazy Horse's debut album the following year.

Instead of remaining with Young, Lofgren used the resulting exposure to get Grin a record contract. The group recorded three albums from 1971 to 1972, garnering critical praise but no sales. A move to A&M produced the lackluster Gone Crazy, which proved to be Grin's swan song; Lofgren accepted an invitation from Young to tour in 1973 and play on his Tonight's the Night album. Grin officially disbanded in mid-1974 owing to a lack of success and financial problems. Lofgren was rumored to be under consideration as a replacement for Mick Taylor in the Rolling Stones; instead, he signed to A&M as a solo artist. His first two solo efforts, Nils Lofgren and Cry Tough, were all-around successes, and Lofgren made a name for himself on supporting tours through stunts such as performing while jumping on a trampoline.

Subsequent releases failed to develop Lofgren's sound any further, and he became more viable as a sideman than a solo performer. Following 1983's Trans tour with Young, Lofgren joined Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band, replacing Little Stevie Van Zandt in 1984, remaining there until the unit was dissolved in 1991. Lofgren returned to solo recording that year with Silver Lining, which featured guest appearances from Springsteen and members of Ringo Starr's band. Acoustic Live followed in 1997. Lofgren resurfaced in 2002 with the Vision Music release Breakaway Angel, his first studio effort in six years (and also notable for his emphasis on classical harp in addition to guitar). Shine Silently, on the Spectrum label, arrived in 2004. A year later, Favorites 1990-2005, pulled mostly from Lofgren's 1991 and 1992 Rykodisc records, was released, followed by 2006's Sacred Weapon, which featured appearances from Willie Nelson, Graham Nash, and David Crosby. Lofgren's next album, 2008's The Loner: Nils Sings Neil, with Lofgren interpreting various Neil Young songs, was a wonderfully perfect idea, a way of closing the circle. Lofgren's first album of new material (he wrote 11 of the 12 tracks) in six years, Old School, appeared late in 2011, and featured guest appearances by Sam Moore, Paul Rodgers, and Lou Gramm. ~ Steve Huey & Steve Leggett, Rovi

Biography

Early life and career

Lofgren was born in Chicago in 1951 to Swedish/Italian parents. He moved to the suburban town of Garrett Park, Maryland, near the northern border of Washington, D.C. as a very young child.[2] Lofgren's first instrument was classical accordion, beginning at age 5,[3] which he studied seriously for ten years.[2] After studying classical music and jazz, throughout his youth, Lofgren switched his emphasis to rock music, and focused on the piano and the guitar.[3] By 1968, Lofgren formed the band Grin, originally with bassist George Daly, and drummer Bob Berberich, former players in the DC band The Hangmen.[4] The group played in the venues throughout the Washington, D.C. area. Lofgren had been a competitive gymnast in high school,[5] a skill that popped up later in his career. During this time, Lofgren met Neil Young and played for him. Young invited Lofgren to come to California and the Grin trio (Lofgren, Daly and Berberich) drove out west and lived for some months at a home Neil Young rented in Laurel Canyon.

Lofgren joined Neil Young's band at age 17, playing piano and guitar on the album After the Gold Rush.[2] Young gave him this role despite his having virtually no experience on the instrument; Lofgren worked on his parts around-the-clock when recording was not in session.[2] Lofgren maintained a close musical relationship with Young, appearing on his Tonight's the Night album and tour among others. He was also briefly a member of Crazy Horse, appearing on their 1971 LP and contributing songs to their catalogue.

Grin

Lofgren used the Neil Young album credits to land his band Grin a record deal in 1971. Lofgren had formed the band originally with bassist George Daly and drummer Bob Berberich, and the group played in venues throughout the Washington D.C. area before going to California. Daly left the band early on to become a Columbia Records A & R Executive and was replaced by bassist Bob Gordon, who remained through the release of four critically acclaimed albums[1] of catchy, hard rock, from 1971 to 1974, with guitar as Lofgren's primary instrument. The single "White Lies" got heavy airplay on Washington, D.C.-area radio. Lofgren wrote the majority of the group's songs, and often shared vocal duties with other members of the band (primarily drummer Bob Berberich). After the second album Nils added brother Tom Lofgren as a rhythm guitarist. Grin failed to hit the big time, and were released by their record company.[2]

Solo career, part I

In 1974 Grin disbanded. Lofgren's eponymous debut solo album was a success with critics; a 1975 Rolling Stone review by Jon Landau labeled it one of the finest rock albums of the year, and NME ranked it 5th in its list of albums of the year.[6] Subsequent albums did not always garner critical favor,[7] although Cry Tough was voted number 10 in the 1976 NME Album round up;[8] I Came To Dance in particular received a scathing review in the New Rolling Stone Record Guide.[9] He achieved progressive rock radio hits in the mid-1970s with "Back It Up", "Keith Don't Go" and "I Came to Dance". His song "Bullets Fever", about the 1978 NBA champion Washington Bullets, would become a favorite in the Washington area.[2] Throughout the 1970s, Lofgren released solo albums and toured extensively with a backing band that again usually included brother Tom on rhythm guitar. Lofgren's concerts displayed his reputation for theatrics, such as playing guitar while doing flips on a trampoline.

In 1971 he appeared on stage on the Roy Buchanan Special, PBS TV, with Bill Graham. In 1973 he appeared with Grin on NBC on Midnight Special, performing three songs live. In 1978 he wrote and sang the "Nobody Bothers Me" theme for a D.C. Jhoon Rhee Tae Kwon Do advertisement, and also appeared in the notorious Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band movie. In 1987 he contributed the TV Show theme arrangement for Hunter. In 1993 he contributed to The Simpsons, with two Christmas jingles with Bart. In 1995 he appeared on a PBS tribute to the Beatles along with Dr. John. From 1991–95 he was the CableAce Awards musical director and composer.

E Street Band

In 1984, he joined Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band as the replacement for Steven Van Zandt on guitar and vocals, in time for Springsteen's massive Born in the U.S.A. Tour. Following the tour he appeared on Late Night with David Letterman, to promote his 1985 solo release Flip. The E Street Band toured again with Springsteen in 1988 on the Tunnel of Love Express. In 1989 Springsteen broke up the E Street Band, but Lofgren and Van Zandt rejoined when Springsteen revived the band in 1999 for their Reunion Tour, followed by The Rising and another massive tour in 2002 and 2003, then again for the Magic album and world tour of 2007/2008, and most recently in 2012 for the Wrecking Ball Tour.

Solo career, part II

Nils Lofgren, performing at the Beacon Theater Benefit For Arthur Lee

Lofgren continues to record and to tour as a solo act, with Patti Scialfa, with Neil Young, and as a two-time member of Ringo Starr's All-Starr Band. Many of the people he worked with on those tours appeared on his 1991 album, Silver Lining. During the 2000s he got his own "Nils Lofgren Day" in Montgomery County, Maryland (August 25). In 2006 Lofgren released Sacred Weapon, featuring guest appearances by David Crosby, Graham Nash, Willie Nelson and Martin Sexton. In 2006 he recorded a live DVD Nils Lofgren & Friends: Acoustic Live.

On June 23, 2006, Lofgren performed at a benefit concert for Arthur Lee at New York's Beacon Theater, along with Robert Plant, Ian Hunter, Yo La Tengo and Garland Jeffreys. In 2007, he appeared playing guitar as part of Jerry Lee Lewis' backing band for Lewis' Last Man Standing Live concert DVD. He released The Loner – Nils Sings Neil, an album of acoustic covers of Neil Young songs, in 2008.

In September 2008, Lofgren had hip replacement surgery for both of his hips as a result of years of playing basketball, "performance 'flips' on stage, and age."[10]

Other work

Novelist Clive Cussler lives close to Lofgren's Arizona home, and collaborated on a song with him, which they co-wrote, and recorded, titled, "What Ever Happened to Muscatel?"[11]

In 2010, Lofgren – a self-described "huge sports fan" – wrote a long open letter to ESPN and the rest of the sports reporting community, condemning their favorable treatment of Michael Vick's return to football stardom.[12]

Musical equipment

Lofgren primarily uses a variety of Fender guitars and amplifers.[13][14]

Guitars

During performances of the song "The River" on The E Street Band's Working On A Dream Tour, Nils would use a custom Fender Stratocaster double-neck guitar, with one 12-string neck, and one standard six. The 12 string was tuned B-G-Bb-F-D-Eb, and the six string A-G#-Bb-Bb-Bb-F#.
