About Vendor
Learn more about this vendor for your event.
Grant’s unique performances as a one man band have made him one of the most sought after event musicians in the Northeast United States. His repertoire of over 500 songs contains everything from Stevie Wonder to Pachelbel, Neil Young to Ed Sheeran, not to mention his original works. As a “live looping” artist, Grant fills out the sound with his characteristic playing and looping of guitar, bass, keys, and percussion. Since no backing tracks are used and everything is created live, no two performances are ever exactly the same. For events where extra accompaniment is necessary, he calls on his network of classically trained NYC accompanists to fill out larger bands.
His versatility has him performing private parties, weddings, and corporate events in venues as diverse as concert halls, restaurants, and steamboats. Clients have included Dior, Audi North America, The New York Yacht Club, Time Out New York, and Hudson Yards. HuffPost called his former musical project one of "5 Must-See Indie Summer Concerts in NYC."

Review by Brieanna C.
Community Event•Reviewed on June 30, 2022•From Locust Valley, NY
Grant was an exceptional performer from start to finish. So easy to work with and flexible with set lists. Out of all of the events I scheduled for our community, grants performance received the best feedback! We enjoyed hanging out afterwards and will be booking again for our summer calendar. An absolute talent!

Club Event•Reviewed on September 17, 2022•From Norwalk, CT
Grant played at a local country club for what they call Fireside Fridays. From the first contact through Bash to the follow up after the night, Grant was a pleasure to work with for the event. He is very talented and the guests all enjoyed the evening. We look forward to working with Grant again in the near future and are working to secure another date.

Engagement Party•Reviewed on October 2, 2021•From Sussex, NJ
We so enjoyed having Grant play at my daughters engagement party! The music was amazing, and Grant is not only a great entertainer/musician but such a nice person to deal with. He played with great enthusiasm and a smile that let us know he really cared that everyone was having a good time. We cant wait to host another event so we can invite Grant back!
