Title: R.I.P. Kevin Garcia - Grandaddy bassist
Post by: Farrell Jackson on May 04, 2017, 08:09:29 AM
Bass player, Kevin Garcia, for Grandaddy died of a massive stroke at the age of 41. Some may not be familiar with Grandaddy's music but I believe ORH is. They seemed to have more success in Europe than they did in the the USA. Grandaddy was a local band that had world wide success. Kevin was a friend of my son. R.I.P.

Wow, that's a big shock.  Funnily enough my version of Charts'n'Graphs shuffled onto my mp3 player on the way to work this morning and I was wondering what became of Grandaddy.  They were a big thing for me ten years ago or so.

Yes, R.I.P. Kevin
