Backstory:
Born in the heart of Nashville, Tennessee, ‘Grand Yard’ is a vivacious group of five who found solace and camaraderie in their love for music. What started as small gigs in local bars and pubs soon turned into a shared journey of melodic exploration. The band consists of childhood friends: lead vocalist Alex, guitarist James, bassist Mick, drummer Nick, and keyboard player Sarah. Their bond is reflected in their music, creating harmony that transcends the ordinary.
‘Grand Yard’ didn’t just appear overnight. Years of practice, dedication, and endless jamming sessions in Alex’s backyard (which they fondly called ‘the grand yard’) shaped their music and their name. Their talent was first recognized when they won a local battle of the bands competition. This victory gave them the much-needed push and confidence, setting them on the path to a promising musical career.

Down the old Sunset Boulevard,

Under the moon, just you and me.

In the backseat of my old car,
D G D A
Listening to the whispers of the night sea.

Oh, Sunset Boulevard, our dreams were never too far.

On this long winding road, we shared our secret ode.
G D A D
Under the starry night, everything felt just right,
G D A D
Oh, Sunset Boulevard, you’re forever in our hearts.

D G D A
We sang songs of love and wonder,
D G D A
While the world was deep in slumber.
D G D A
Oh, those nights were our treasure,
D G D A
Those memories, no one can ever measure.
