Grab a drink, put the top down, and prepare for a winding cruise through the desert with Grand Old Grizzly.
Grand Old Grizzly is, Will Thomas (vocals/guitar), Paul Beebe (guitar/vox), Mark Riddell (bass/vox), Chris Lewis (drums).
Will Thomas discovered his songwriting abilities while serving as rhythm guitarist for an acclaimed singer/songwriter.
Collectively, this group of musicians have played with such artists as Katie Stuckey, Mike Stinson, The Small Sounds, and Beetle. In other words, they got skills!
The band’s chemistry refined itself as this group worked together backing Katie Stuckey. Mr. Thomas even penned a couple of songs for one of her albums.
As Grand Old Grizzly, this band of creative minds engages listeners with their alterna-country tinged ameri-folk-rock-and-roll.
An album full of stories from the heartbreak of Tallahassee to the complicated relationships of random pub goers in New York (Sundowners), GOG provides a soundtrack to life that fans of Tom Petty, Old 97s, Wilco, and Robert Earl Keen, Jr. will thoroughly enjoy…more than once.
The album was produced by band members Will Thomas, Paul Beebe, and Mark Riddell at Beebe Gunne Studio and El Casa Del La Studio in Houston, Texas and includes guest appearances by Hunter Perrin (Thunderado, John Fogerty), Dustin Welch, and Craig Feazel (Small Sounds, Katie Stuckey).
