Grandaddy

Grandaddy is an American indie rock band from Modesto, California, formed in 1992. The band consists of Jason Lytle, Kevin Garcia, Aaron Burtch, Jim Fairchild and Tim Dryden. After several self-released records and cassettes, the band signed to Will Records in the US and later the V2 subsidiary Big Cat Records in the UK, going on to sign an exclusive deal with V2. The bulk of the band's recorded output was the work of Lytle, who worked primarily in home studios. The band released four studio albums before splitting in 2006, with band members going on to solo careers and other projects. Grandaddy reformed in 2012 and have since made a number of live appearances.
