"And though it's only my opinion. I may be right or wrong. You'll find them both GRAND CANYON SUNDOWN." -Bob Dylan
Falling from the San Diego coast and the back hills of Ramona; Grand Canyon Sundown are a noxious blend of country, blues, and rolling folk rock. A group of old friends consisting of Paul Cruz on guitar,bass and vocals, Jason Postelnek on guitar, bass, vocals, and violin, David Farrell, guitar, bass, vocals, and Mandolin, Dave Wilkie on drums, and Drew Danforth keys and and vocals. Throw in a Kevin Christy on Sax or Junior Torres on harp and the great Doug Meyer on pedal steel you’ve got yourself a collection of infectious talent.
These guys grew up playing backyard campfires and highway reststops. GC Sundown evokes the spirit of the freedom days when passion was honored and individuality celebrated. They delightfully entice you to embark on a lyrical journey of sweet tragedy and beg you to wander through the smooth harmonies of desperate yearning. Eh…whatever. Just pull up a chair, have a beer with some good people and see how YOU feel about it. You’re guaranteed quite a ride!-------------------------------
