Q: Who is the guy always around town playing guitar in "Gilmore Girls"? Is he famous?

Adam Thomlison / TV Media

Identified just as "Grant" in the show's credits, the guitarist seen leaning on lampposts around "Gilmore Girls'" fictional town of Stars Hollow is, in fact, professional singer-songwriter Grant Lee Phillips, who fronted the buzz-generating indie rock band Grant Lee Buffalo in the 1990s.

They seemed poised for greatness at the time, with Phillips named Best Male Vocalist of the Year in 1995 by Rolling Stone magazine, but the group never escaped their emerging-stars status.
