Backstory:
Gargantuan Guitar was conceived in the basement of a suburban home in Duluth, Minnesota.

As Lawson’s thunderous drums and Griggs’ guitar prowess came together, Gargantuan Guitar was born. Their passion for music and shared vision quickly attracted additional members Rachel “Rhythm” Reed on bass and Danny “Dynamo” Donovan on keyboards. Over the years, they’ve honed their craft, delivering electrifying performances in small pubs and music festivals across the Midwest. Their music resonates with listeners, often telling tales of their humble beginnings, dreams, and the world around them.
Genre:

Title:
“Twilight Echoes”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G] Underneath a crimson sky on a [D] cold Minnesota night
[Em] Strumming chords of stories old, [C] echoes of the twilight bold
[G] In our hearts, the rhythm thrums, [D] as the Duluth wind hums
[Em] Our dreams of music, [C] in the twilight echoes
(Chorus)
[G] Twilight echoes, [D] stirring the soul,
[Em] Bringing to life, [C] stories untold
[G] Under the starlit sky, [D] with our heads held high
[Em] We’ll sing our dreams, [C] in the twilight echoes
(Verse 2)
[G] From a basement, to a stage, [D] a journey penned on every page
[Em] In the rhythm of the night, [C] under the neon’s vibrant light
[G] With every strum, every beat, [D] our hearts in sync, as they meet
[Em] In the silence, [C] hear the twilight echoes
(Repeat Chorus)
(Outro)
[G] So here we stand, [D] under the moon’s command
[Em] Our dreams as vast as the starlit sand
[C] In the whispers of the wind, [G] hear the twilight echoes
