Grant Ewald was born in San Francisco in 1949 and started playing music at an early age. He plays piano, organ, synth, bass pedals and sings in many styles. Grant has been the bandleader for Chuck Berry a few times, and has played on cruise ships all over the world. Besides a stint as a travel agent, Grant has never had a real job! He plays with many bands and leads his own band at Nicks’ in Pacifica for the last 27 years which makes it the longest running steady gig in the Bay Area unofficially. With his knowledge of popular music and the Internet, Grant will try many requests he probably shouldn’t.
ABOUT KIMREA’S PRO SHOWCASE
For these Sunday Sessions we invite some of the Bay Area unsung working musicians to join us for our Pro Showcase and showcase their talent. These musicians form the backbone of the Bay Area music scene and are established Bay Area performers, session players, sidemen and undiscovered talent! Come for some fabulous music and discover real talent!
Kimrea, a prolifically active songwriter and performing musician, taps the talent for these Sunday Sessions, as well as the supporting musicians. She and her band continue to play regularly in the Bay Area and can be found every Monday Night (for the last 14 years and counting) performing at the Historic No Name Bar in Sausalito, California.
There is an incredible wealth of talent who make their home right here in the Bay Area. Our Sunday Sessions invite performers in to share their talents and our community in to enjoy and be inspired! We pay a small stipend to performers, donations to support these events are gratefully accepted.
The Throckmorton is dedicated to the inclusion of all members of our diverse community; every member is entitled to be exposed to thought-provoking, multicultural events.
