Backstory:
Born and bred in the sleepy town of Bonnerville, Oregon, Gross Bridge is a band that owes its existence to a dilapidated, moss-covered stone bridge – a local legend and namesake of the band. The members, lead vocalist Fred, bassist Tommy, drummer Billy, and guitarist Luke, were childhood friends who spent countless hours around this eponymous bridge, sharing their dreams and fears, and eventually, their love for music. The bridge, to them, was a reflection of their own sense of being; slightly offbeat and full of character. As teenagers, they began to jam under this bridge, their music echoing off the water and stone, slowly drawing more and more locals as their audience. Gross Bridge was officially formed in 2004, turning their shared dreams into reality.

“Moss and Stone”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1: D – G – A – D)
Underneath the moss and stone, (D – G)
We found a place to call our own, (A – D)
Dreams whispered in the wind, (D – G)
In the echo of our youthful sins. (A – D)

(Chorus: G – A – D – Bm)
Gross Bridge, our hearts you hold, (G – A)
In the stories yet untold, (D – Bm)
Through the rhythm, through the rhyme, (G – A)
We’ve crossed over, lost in time. (D – Bm)

(Verse 2: D – G – A – D)
Through the rustling of the leaves, (D – G)
We heard the melody of our dreams, (A – D)
Underneath the moss and stone, (D – G)
We strummed our way into the unknown. (A – D)

(Chorus: G – A – D – Bm)
Gross Bridge, in your embrace, (G – A)
We found our rhythm, found our pace, (D – Bm)
In the shadows, in the light, (G – A)
We live our dreams, night by night. (D – Bm)

Martha’s Testimonial:
“I’ve been a fan of Gross Bridge since they were just neighborhood boys making noise under that old stone bridge. Their music, it speaks to the soul. It’s raw, real, and so full of life. Fred’s poignant lyrics, combined with the innovative tunes from Tommy, Billy, and Luke, create a unique, captivating sound that I’ve not found in any other band. They’ve carried the spirit of Bonnerville in their music, making us all proud. Gross Bridge isn’t just my favorite band; they’re a part of who we are as a community.”
