   About Dalton Grant
If you ask him why he keeps writing music, you'll always get the same simple answer: "I don't know why… I just have to."  With a drive and a vision that comes straight from the very depths of his soul, Dalton Grant is a great songwriter and an even better live performer.  He has toured throughout the US along side such bands as The Kings of Leon, Tonic, Hoobastank, and Stone Temple Pilots.  Maybe you've even heard his music on one of your favorite tv teen dramas or an ABC after school special.  His first full-length record, "Opium", was produced by Bill Bell (Jason Mraz, Alex Lifeson, Justin Nozuka...) and was immediately noticed by music supervisors throughout Los Angeles.  His song "Smile", which was co-written by Tom Cochrane, was featured on One Tree Hill and weeks later his song "Broken" was used as well.  Half of his catalog has been licensed to MTV original programming and featured on the soundtracks of Cruel Intentions 3 and Sony's "Three Way".          A natural successor to "Opium" and arguably Mr. Grant's most powerful and engaging work, "Waiting for the Ball to Drop" was what some might call a labor of love.  Released in late 2008, the album was two plus years in the making, but well worth the wait. DG's passionate lyricism coupled with his musical attention to detail creates a sound that'll make even your grandpa cry.  Between the completion and release of "Waiting," Dalton sought a producer who might offer a fresh creative outlook, and perhaps push him in another direction.  It wasn't long before the stars aligned and Dalton met Marvin Etzioni (Toad the Wet Sprocket, Counting Crows, Lucinda Williams...).  The two wrote their first song together within an hour of this fateful meeting and just a short year later were ready to record a real rock album.  In January of 2008, Dalton, Marvin and the band that would come to be known as "Pecos" went into an Eagle Rock, Ca. studio with mix engineer Don Smith (The Rolling Stones, U2, Tom Petty...). Only two and a half days later, "Rockola Pistola" was completed.  The raw energy of a classic 70's rock record and intensity of a live performance sets this record apart from his previous work but definitely doesn't disappoint. His well-rounded discography has laid the groundwork for a rich and dynamic sound that will be matched by few.
