Logan Metz Music at Slay Glasgow 2026-03-05T19:30:00
Logan Metz is a musician, writer, and composer based in the American Midwest. 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 school of piano-based storytelling.
During his seven-year stint as a multi-instrumentalist for Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real (a band which Metz turned down the prestigious Fulbright Fellowship to join), Metz had the honor of playing with Neil Young, Stephen Stills, Joe Walsh, Jimmy Buffett, Eddie Vedder, Warren Haynes, Robby Krieger, John Densmore, Bob Weir, and of course Willie Nelson himself. With POT 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 adaptating 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).
Between touring gigs, Metz lives in Wisconsin, where he tinkers away on passion projects, including a strategy card game, a full-scale stage musical, and a brand new solo album, coming out in 2026.
