Born in London and raised there and in Liverpool, D.P. MacManus later came to be known as “Elvis Costello”. He has been performing in public for over fifty years. Costello is the composer and lyricist of over six hundred published titles, including fifteen songs co-written with Paul McCartney and renowned collaborations with Allen Toussaint, the Brodsky Quartet and T Bone Burnett.
Costello has composed songs for Roy Orbison, Georgie Fame, Chet Baker, Dusty Springfield, Solomon Burke and Johnny Cash and written songs with Loretta Lynn, Bill Frisell, Aimee Mann, Chris Difford, Rosanne Cash and Kris Kristofferson, Carole King and his wife, Diana Krall. Costello’s most enduring songwriting collaboration has been with Burt Bacharach beginning with the song, “God Give Me Strength” in 1995 and continuing to the present day.
Costello is a two-time Grammy Award winner, has received a BAFTA award in collaboration with the composer Richard Harvey, two Ivor Novello Awards for his songwriting catalogue and two Dutch Edison Awards and, perhaps most surprisingly, a 1989 VMA Award for “Veronica” as “Best Male Video”.
He is a member of both The Songwriter’s Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Elvis Costello and Steve Nieve have been cohorts and bandmates since 1977, appearing together on more than twenty-five recordings and performing on stages from the Grosse Freiheit 36 in Hamburg to the Royal Albert Hall in London.
