Eye Nocturne 4.1

The Circle is now complete.

Eye Nocturne would like to welcome Grant, our new vocalist, to the band.  He wears a size 4 women’s shoe.

Grant grew up on a farm in the Midwest, and was taught how to sing by Elvis Presley’s former manager.  By the time he reached his teens, he lost interest in Rockabilly, and became enamored with the zydeco stylings of the Louisiana Creoles.  He taught himself how to play the jug, and later the washboard.  He gained notoriety with his first solo release entitled Big Jugs and Washboard Abs.

By the time he was 18, Grant realized his true calling, and traveled to Sweden to learn the intricacies of Swedish Death Metal.  Contrary to popular belief, it was Grant, not the Swedes, who coined the term “Swedeathel.”  Although he was eventually deported by the Swedish authorities, he continued his ongoing quest to popularize the merging of Swedeathel and zydeco music.  Unfortunately, the Creoles did not like that either, and he was exiled from Louisiana.

Grant found his way to east-central Texas and found work as a chimney sweep.  He wasn’t able to do the cockney accent very well, but became well respected in the field nonetheless.  Meanwhile, he worked on his music.  Ever-changing, ever-evolving, Grant discovered the rock greatness of one Sammy Hagar, and started the unofficial Sammy Hagar fan club.  He continued to play at local venues—most of which were in cattle pastures.

After several years of honing his voice, he decided in late 2009 that he had the greatest singing voice in the history of the world.  Tom Waits would agree.  And, after all the hard work, he was invited to join the most progressive band ever: Eye Nocturne.

Welcome Grant.  Now let’s play some Emerson, Lake & Palmer.
