Southside
"Four men with arms and legs, two men with horns.
Forming just over a year ago, the evolution has been an even longer time
coming. Core members Zak, Thomas, Nick and Wes have composed, recorded
and performed together in one way or
another for at least ten consecutive years, developing a solid
foundation of musicianship. Soon after establishing themselves under the
moniker, Grand Piano, with material ranging in genres from blues,
honky-tonk, rock and jazz, long-time friends Bob and Ryan were an
immediate and enthusiastic addition, and proved only to augment the
bands unique instrumentation and song writing."
The locals are opening up for The Kalob Griffin Band this upcoming Saturday at Club Cafe. You can check out their debut EP, "$1000" as I extend my thanks to Zak Kane (Guitars/Vocals) for taking the time to participate in this edition of First/Last.

Favorite album of all time?
I don't have a favorite album. It's been at one point or another quite literally 500 albums. Just depends on my mood I guess.

Least favorite/most disappointing
album?
I can't really think of an instance when listening to anything, song or just sounds that I haven't been able to get something out of it so I've never been disappointed in anything.
