LA soul-rock artist Gallant gallantly opened for Sufjan Stevens on Stevens’ recent North American tour, and we were impressed by the game gent’s vocal acumen and stage presence.   Now Stevens and Gallant have released a stirring video of Gallant (backed only by Stevens on solo piano and harmonizing) performing Stevens’ stellar Blue Bucket of Gold off his tremendous 2015 album Carrie & Lowell. Watch below as Gallant gives a masterful read of the song (lad’s got serious pipes) with Stevens providing perfectly-restrained backing in a one-take performance. Chills.  Hold on for the end when Stevens explains the backstory of the song (though not the personal contextualization in the song).  Regardless, it’s a moving performance by the duo and Gallant in particular.
