Re: Grand Rapids. I didn't grow up there (I'm from Toronto), but I went to teachers' college at Calvin in the early '90s (and I taught in Holland). I still have weird nostalgia for lots of GR stuff, like a super romantic date spent after hours outside the Gerald Ford Museum, and the super hot BBQ chips I could get at Meijer's.
A Doug Paisley reference out here in 2025. This is why this is my favorite Substack.
Saw the Grandaddy show in Boston and was blown away by Greg Freeman and his band. A real highlight and had the crowd going ahead of Grandaddy. I really hope Greg releases some love stuff soon - it absolutely ripped. I’d be first in line.
Oh man, I envy the Grandaddy journey you are about to embark on. Sumday is a gem, and there are a ton of cool b-sides and unreleased stuff floating around YouTube.
