His venue setlists cover a broad range of music over several decades ranging from the 1960's to the present day sure to keep the crowd entertained and engaged. He is happy to tweak the setlist to suit the venue or crowd and is suited to both restaurant and lively pub venues.
Original compositions
His original songs comprise lyrics that touch hearts and has composed songs that include sing along anthems, noticeable foot tappers and emotional ballads
Self-taught expertise
Being self taught meant he developed his own unique playing style based on rhythms rather than the traditional sheet music, chords and melodies
Loop machine mastery
Should you be lucky enough to catch him performing with his loop machine, the vocal harmonies, lilting guitar and over solos are truly stunning

Energetic crowd-pleasing sets perfect for busy pub environments
Interactive performances that engage your customers and keep them entertained
Intimate acoustic performances for quieter venues, late afternoon pub sessions and restaurants

Current Projects, Upcoming Album & Live Concert
Apart from performing on the Pub scene, Grant is also available for background music at hotel lobbies & restaurants. Performing with his Taylor 12 string guitar he brings an ambience of calm and tranquility along with mellow tones that do not intrude upon the business that a hotel lobby, reception or restaurant need to conduct.
Grant is currently recording his upcoming album, which is a mixture of acoustic rock pop and soothing melodic ballads. The album reflects Grant's deep lyrics, uplifiting hooks, and encorporates themes such as how important the support of others are, personal insight, love and letting go.
He is also planning a concert performance solely of his own original songs at a venue in Dublin later this year so keep your eyes and ears peeled.
It will be also be advertised on this site.
Be sure to catch him before he reaches the stars!
The Not So Tragic Backstory!
Grant hails from Dublin in Ireland. At the age of 16 he secretly picked up his mothers hardly used Yamaha Dreadnought 6 string guitar and over the course of the following year completely taught himself how to play.
He said he still remembers the top E string cutting his finger, learning the alternative thumb over F chord and also using superglue to try and callus up his fingers! But it wasn't long before the secret was out and Grant was composing his own songs and performing live.
His early performance journey included his first professional gig in Bundoran, Co. Donegal at age 17.
Second gig at the historic Toners, Lr. Baggot Street, Dublin
International experience with performances in Pornic, France
Dublin's famous Grafton Street and various pubs in Dublin City (See Home Page for List)
Since those early gigs Grant has honed his guitar work which now carries both the rhythmic pulse of indie folk and the atmospheric depth of alternative rock. There are very few too that can interpret a ballad so well given his emotive expression.
