Are you going to Grandson tonight?
While accolades and widespread recognition are always nice, grandson says what keeps him going nowadays is connecting more authentically with fans, especially if there are people at a show who may experience trouble fitting in.
“I try and use alternative rock, which is kind of a vague descriptor, but I try to infuse hip-hop, rock and roll and even some electronic EDM moments to empower and make an audience feel like they can tap into a part of themselves that is sometimes inaccessible when moving through the world.
"As I move through America and the world, it's incredible to me just how similar people are when you talk to them one on one," he continues."It is these invisible lines that dictate and govern what is socially acceptable and what is not and what are the consequences of being yourself in one place versus another, not just from country to country, but here in America.
Such an accepting ethos has given grandson “a sense of purpose and drive when I’m looking for it,” as he puts it, moving forward. “I’ve accomplished a lot of the things that my ego propelled me to accomplish as far as playing arena shows with the biggest bands in the world and having my music listened to hundreds of millions of times. Your ego only gets so much burn,” he says. ... “Being able to be a motivating force in people’s life or a catalyst for them to re-evaluate some of their worst habits, that’s something that can get me motivated and excited to come play a show in Denver for the fifth or sixth time.
