Album Notes

To write songs that stick in your head is hard. To write lyrics that stick to your heart is even harder. To do both at the same time is nearly impossible - but you wouldn't think it, listening to Jeff Grant.

Jeff, a Seattle native, has a knack for using thoughtful wordplay and catchy melody to tell his stories to his listeners; tales of love both heartwarming and painfully awkward, of losing a dear someone, and hoping that they still gaze at their ceiling walls thinking about you. In the familiarity of his words, you feel that they are not so much his stories as OUR stories - and so you sing along glady.

jeff can do this with the angered sound of a heavy guitar and a driving beat, or with the somberness of an acoustic guitar and your sister's glockespiel. The styles may change, but the pluck at your heartstrings feels the same throughout - and my, his touch is so damn good.

His debut album "Iguandola" (ee-GWAN-doh-la) includes the song "Slow Atop the Mountain" recently selected as a FINALIST International Songwriting Competition FOLK SINGER SONGWRITER CATEGORY. Check it out today @ www.songwritingcompetition.com/winners.htm

"Delightful Indie-Pop. Tres Cute!"
-Three Imaginary Girls, Seattle Music Aficionados.

"...From the first moments of the performance, it was clear that the stage was host to a fine musician, proving his talents at playing, singing and songwriting throughout the night. "...One of Grant's ongoing jokes was to imagine that even if his songs sucked, people would still praise his "technique." He really needn't have worried. Grant is a very talented musician, able to play comfortably in a variety of styles, from easy going pop to driving rock and roll, to more jazz oriented constructions...it made the evening all the more dynamic and enjoyable."
