Band Biography – GrinninBarrettBand ™

Hmm, where do I start and how did we all get together. I would say like most other bands, getting to together for an initial jam session. Having already played with brothers Tom and John and other projects and bands we knew we could pull it off pretty well together, the key was to find the perfect guitar who would fit in with 3 very opinionated brothers, you know the scenario each brother is always right and the others stand to be corrected, but at the same time, having a mutual respect for each other and his talents.

So who would be the perfect candidate to fill in the lead guitar slot?

Rather then putting in an add in the local newspaper, it was through the suggestion of my brother John to try out a coworker of his employer, name (Dave Harper) who he knew played guitar and was interested in getting together for a jam and possibly starting a band together, so we all to a vote and agreed to try him out.

So what was it like the first time we all jammed together, INTERESTING!!!!! Yet positive. And what I mean by that we now have the opportunity feel each others strengths and weaknesses. Keep in mind at the time we were strictly a cover band at the time and tying to agree which kind of songs would be the best to play out as a band and what songs were good and what songs were weak.

Dave’s input was, sounds good, but we need to get more current with the cover songs we do, and we all agreed to step it up a notch and add a little more edge to our sound and now we find, we are now progressing as a band.

Stay tuned to for Part 11, how we got our name, and how we were able to make the transition from cover band to all original bands.

Thanks for attention
