Love, Music, and The Town Troubadour

Tara Llewellyn & Haley McIntosh
About this episode

After a wonderful conversation with Grant-Lee Phillips himself, we had to do a deep-dive into the best of Stars Hollow’s Town Troubadour! We love what his music, lyrics, and presence adds to the ambiance of the Gilmore girls’ lives. Which episodes does he appear in? How do his songs add to the narrative? And which are our faves? Grab a cup of coffee and get comfortable because Tara and Haley have more to say!

Grant-Lee Phillips’ newest album, In The Hour of Dust is out now!
