From Northampton to New York to Nashville, Guy-Michael Grande's emotionally resonant songs and passionate performances create an energy between artist and audience that is fully requited and refreshingly real. Cited “among the region's hottest singer-songwriters” by The Valley Advocate, the award-winning indie artist has opened for Will Hoge, Jeffrey Gaines, Susan Werner, Freedy Johnston, They Might Be Giants and David Wilcox; co-billed with peers Steve Kellogg, Josh Ritter and Matt Nathanson; and featured at benefits (Bennett Cancer Center WALK), industry events (TAXI Road Rally), on radio and TV. Averaging 150 gigs a year, Grande is currently touring behind new release Six-String Radio, fearlessly reimagining songs from Johnny, Joni and U2 among his own.
