“Playing at music started with friends, making ourselves happy, singing and being goofy, mimicking our favourite songs and musicians. I tend to remain true to that mind set.
“I had a semi-successful run as a teenager in a country-dance band and on my own, playing through parts of Canada and Western Europe. For the next decade or so I worked at song-writing and at fine tuning my thoughts and skills. I began self-recording, DIY seriously, around 2001 with a 4-track. I’m grateful to have this urge to produce music and for the supportive fans and outlets I have for my songs. Longevity is a super-power.”

“His original songs and influential covers, delivered live, remain relevant and authentic. The music is rich with ideas, emotional variety and can prompt toe-tapping and head-bobbing at any time.”
“This straight up, alt-rock guitar music is seeded in the creatively structured musical styles of the British Rock invasion and Americana.“
“Lead singer and songwriter, Desmond Grundy, has an accessible creative signature. His studied musical influences from the classic rock and new wave eras ring through his live sets and original work.“
