Bio
Gross National Product, comprised of four/five excellent Utah musicians, has been performing around Salt Lake City for 25 years now. The band has gone through many members, and todays group consists of three of the original musicians. Once upon a time, while playing at Juniors Tavern in 1983, we were asked to play ’Satin Doll’. We grudgingly complied, but Ralph the guitarist was angry. He turned his amp to eleven, and screamed through the tune. We all followed suit. Thus was born GNP. We play our original tunes without abandon, bordering often on avant garde, yet tight melodies and segues keep the band sounding tight and interesting. We are loud, then soft, moody, then rockin’, melodic, then outside. And we always play the songs differently. Improvisation is very important to us... In the previous two years, we have performed at the Utah Arts Festival, the Park City Arts Festival, the Brown Bag thing, the Gallivan Center, at the U of U music department a couple of times, the Avenues Street Fair, and the Ninth and Ninth Street Festival. Here’s where we have played over the last twenty years (in no particular order): Juniors Tavern, Hole in the Wall, Old Hotel, Alice’s, The Speedway, many Brown Bag concerts, Utah Arts Festival numerous times, Park City Arts Festival, Gallivan Center, DB Coopers, Egos, Toole Arts Festival, Logan Arts Festival, Dead Goat Saloon.. (I’ll add more as I remember them) Thanks for reading this far.
