Grandaddy Launches a Comeback

Soundcheck | Mar 1, 2017

Born in Modesto, CA in 1992, Grandaddy consists of Jason Lytle, Aaron Burtch, Tim Dryden, Jim Fairchild and Kevin Garcia. But, in 2006, it seemed as though the band Grandaddy had run its course, and the group broke up, leaving behind a lot of disappointed fans. Following a brief live reunion in 2012, Grandaddy is set for a full return this year, including the first new music in ten years, with a new record, called Last Place. The reunited Grandaddy still has the same lineup as before, but the music has always centered on singer/guitarist/keyboardist Jason Lytle, and when Jason learned that we had a Steinway piano here in the SC studio, he got all excited and decided to play some of these new Grandaddy songs solo, and unplugged.
