Kurt Vile is a guitarist and singer from Philadelphia, PA. He has 4 solo albums out since he started his solo career in 2008.   Here is a little info on Kurt Vile pulled from his Bio here...
"Vile's passion for music was encouraged by his father, a bluegrass aficionado who bought him a banjo. Vile eventually advanced from the banjo to other instruments, primarily guitar, and began writing songs that he would record at home. These lo-fi home recordings, often featuring drum machines and other one-man-band, lo-fi adornment, were compiled on a series of CD-Rs that Vile would release in limited editions." It is also well known that he was a the former guitarist for the band War On Drugs and also before he really launched his solo career he was driving a forklift for his job. His latest album 'Smoke Ring For My Halo' has been dubbed a work of genius by several music critics and fans alike. His song writing skills are an inspired affair and the music that is created gets you hooked for good.
