Backstory:
In the sleepy town of Alderwood, Oregon, a musical revolution was brewing in the garage of 17-year-old Cody “CJ” Jones. There, he and his childhood friends, Lucas Neill, Ronnie Mitchell, and Ella Roberts, began creating a unique sound, drawing from their shared love of classic rock, blues, and a little bit of punk. This band of misfit musicians soon evolved into ‘Giant Expansion,’ a name signifying personal growth, amplified sound, and their ambitions to make it big.
They played their first gig at a local high school dance, using borrowed instruments and a hand-me-down sound system. Despite the initial hesitations, their unique sound won over the crowd, and before they knew it, Giant Expansion’s popularity escalated. They started touring local bars, festivals, and eventually, their fame spread beyond Oregon. Their journey was not all smooth, but with each obstacle, Giant Expansion stayed true to their name and continued to grow, both musically and personally.
