Native to Edmonton, The Grassroot Deviation is a four piece musical group relentlessly wandering the spectrum of roots, rock and funk. Blending a multiplicity of musical genres, expressive lyrics, compelling rhythms and guitar harmonies, the band delivers a vibrant and explosive live experience. Consisting of guitarists/vocalists Brian Parker and Dan Smith, bassist/fiddler Mike Barer and drummer Vinay Jhass, The Grassroot Deviation is a mainstay of the burgeoning Alberta live music scene.
The Grassroot Deviation has shared the bill with an eclectic range of acts including Wide Mouth Mason, Wasabi Collective, Captain Tractor, Five Alarm Funk, The Uncas, Blue Quarter, and The Fabulous Beefeders. They have performed all over Western Canada, pleasing audiences with their diverse, Alberta driven compositions.
In March 2006, The Grassroot Deviation released their self-titled debut album. The disc has been compared to a soothing road tripwith a quick detour through the funk bars of Detroit (Edmonton Journal, March 24 2006). The record includes guest musicians Dave Cohen (Johnny Reid Band), Kiron Jhass (The Uncas) and horn section Brett Miles, Bob Tildesley and Craig Brenan. The Bands follow up disc is in production now and due out July 2007.
With frequently sold out shows, a devoted fan base, and a constantly evolving sound, The Grassroot Deviation is energized about the future. With no plans for slowing down, watch for the musical deviation to continue!Have you performed in front of an audience?Alberta - The GRD are heading on Cross Canada Tour in July 2007 - see www.myspace.com/thegrd
