An Evening with Stuart McLamb & Sean Thomas Gerard

STUART McLAMB is a North Carolina–based songwriter best known as the founder of The Love Language, whose four albums on Merge Records earned critical acclaim and took him to stages like Coachella alongside artists such as Phoenix, Arcade Fire, and Teenage Fanclub. Praised by Pitchfork as “one of indie rock’s most underrated songwriters,” McLamb has built a catalog rooted in melody, emotion, and a distinctly timeless approach to songwriting.
Drawing from classic pop, folk, and indie traditions, his music blends warm, analog textures with heartfelt, often nostalgic lyrics—songs that feel both immediate and enduring. Whether performing solo or with his latest project Fancy Gap, a collaboration with Charles Crossingham featuring work with Sharon Van Etten, Adam Lazzara, and Rami Jaffee, McLamb brings an intimate, honest energy to the stage, where the focus remains on the song above all else.
