ABOUT LOGAN

Logan Metz (Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real, Willie Nelson) is a songwriter, educator and raconteur based in Wisconsin. His songwriting spans many genres, from jazz and rock to folk and country, but it's all marked by artful chord changes, a character-centric narrative style, and a wry lyrical wit rooted firmly in the Tom Waits/ Randy Newman/ Leon Russell school of piano-based storytelling.

During his seven-year stint as a multi-instrumentalist for Promise of the Real (a band which Metz turned down the prestigious Fulbright Fellowship to join), Metz had the honor of playing with the likes of Neil Young, Stephen Stills, Joe Walsh, Jimmy Buffett, Eddie Vedder, Bob Weir, and in 2023 began playing piano on tour with Willie Nelson himself. With POTR announcing a hiatus in 2024, Metz now returns to his natural habitat as a songwriter and performer in his own right.

Throughout his varied career Metz has written albums, plays, essays, musicals, soundtracks, children's albums, and even a rock opera adapting Shakespeare's Othello... a project which earned him a Masters degree from University of Chicago in 2015. A year later he released his first solo album, "The Last Remaining Payphone in L.A." (2016).

Now, ten years later, Metz is hitting the road solo, in advance of releasing his long-overdue second album, the first singles of which — “Sunrise” and “Overrated”—are streaming everywhere.  Between tours, Metz lives in rural Wisconsin, where he tinkers away on passion projects, including a strategy card game, a full-scale stage musical, and various janky amateur carpentry projects.
