Grant plays keys on Cosmoline’s debut album.

Exciting news!

The Twin Cities-based americana band Cosmoline asked me over a year ago to join them in the studio as they recorded their first album, Give Me Back My Pride. Shortly before Christmas, they released the album on iTunes and CDbaby.com.

I think the album turned out nicely. I especially like “Crawl Back In” and the title track “Give Me Back My Pride.”

My kudos to Cosmoline for their great work and many thanks for asking me to be a part of the project.

Additional news: Cosmoline is planning several shows for 2010, and I’m planning on playing in as many of those shows as my own performance schedule allows. So, if you like what you hear on Give Me Back My Pride, be sure to come out and see a show.

My January-break is nearly over, so expect to see more regular posts and lots more shows appearing on the calendar.
