GRAYSON CAPPS

About Me

Grayson Capps writes songs which have the voice of dead prophets masquerading as town drunks screaming "look at us we’re pretty, too!" He’s been playing guitar and singing for nearly twenty years now. He’s played theaters, festivals, radio shows, t.v. shows, whiskey-beer crusted barrooms, living rooms, and camp fires. Some people call him a preacher, others a poet, a singer, a guitar player, a landscaper, but he declares: "I am only an actor strutting and fretting across the stage. I still have to use a shovel. I still have to dig in the dirt. But, I tell you what, I have a beautiful daughter named Sadie, a house on Music St., and my first solo record coming out in the spring. Bobby and Fred are dead, but my father is alive and well in Alabama about to have a novel published. No one knows what tomorrow will bring, but songs are still sung by those who continue to sing."
