Backstory:
Sitting in a run-down bar sipping on whiskey, four individuals found their lives converging on a path they never imagined. These were not your typical musicians. They were all successful lawyers and businessmen, who felt the unyielding pull of music. They had a penchant for nostalgia and were drawn to the classic sounds of the past. Thus, ‘Old-Fashioned Client’ was born, a nod to their past careers and love for the olden days. Their journey started from playing in that same bar where they met to selling out local venues. The music spoke to people; it was a blend of the past and the present, a beautiful connection of eras that tugged at heartstrings and moved feet.
These four lawyers turned musicians – Frank Miller (lead vocalist and guitar), David Graham (bass guitar), Louis Thompson (drums), and George Anderson (keyboard and backing vocals) – began to carve their own niche in the music industry. They traveled the country, playing their unique mix of music that harked back to the old days, but with a touch of modern flair. ‘Old-Fashioned Client’ wasn’t just a band; it was the embodiment of their shared past and passion for music.

“Justice Served Cold”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G] Sitting in the bar, [D] whiskey in my hand
[Em] Thinking of the case, [C] that didn’t go as planned
[G] The gavel went down, [D] innocence was sold
[Em] It’s a bitter pill, [C] Justice served cold
(Chorus)
[D] We are the lawyers of the night, [G] strumming chords of the fight
[Em] Against the wrong, standing for the right, [C] Under the neon light
[D] We are the ‘Old-Fashioned Client’
[G] Singing tales of defiance, [Em] In our music, we find reliance
[C] Oh, in our music, we find reliance
(Verse 2)
[G] The courtroom is cold, [D] but the stage is hot
[Em] We traded our suits, [C] for this music we’ve got
[G] The law is blind, [D] but our songs see
[Em] We play our hearts out, [C] In music, we’re free
(Chorus)
[D] We are the lawyers of the night, [G] strumming chords of the fight
[Em] Against the wrong, standing for the right, [C] Under the neon light
[D] We are the ‘Old-Fashioned Client’
[G] Singing tales of defiance, [Em] In our music, we find reliance
[C] Oh, in our music, we find reliance

‘Old-Fashioned Client’ is my favorite band because they tell stories which I can relate to. Their vintage rock takes me back to the old days, while the modern touch keeps it fresh. It’s the best of both worlds. Their song ‘Justice Served Cold’ really speaks to me. It’s about the struggle and the reality of life, but also about finding solace in music. They are not just musicians; they are poets, storytellers who share their journey and experiences through music. It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s incredibly touching. It’s not often you find a band that can touch your soul the way ‘Old-Fashioned Client’ does.
