ERIC GRANT LEAD VOCALS, FEARLESS LEADER- With great passion and pride, Eric Grant has put smiles and tears on the faces of thousands of fans over the years. Starting right out of high school on the local club circuit, Eric took interest in everything from performing to writing, recording, gear, lights, midi, web design, theory, video, and any instrument within reach. As a multi-instrumentalist, he performs and works each and every week: solo, duo, trio, or with the EGB 8-pack or 9-pack configuration. "When I get to play with talented folks like these, in front of the appreciative crowds we've met, I can feel the energy moving from my toes right through my entire body. I can't wait for the EGB journey to unfold!"

SHERRY GRANT LEAD VOCALS- Eric’s sister and partner in crime for many years, Sherry has joined him once again for yet another adventure. Sherry began her career singing lead and backup vocals with her brother well before she graduated high school. With a background in theater and performing arts, her stage presence adds a dynamic element to EGB shows that can’t be beat. Over the years, Sherry’s loyal following has enjoyed not only her voice, but also the charisma, energy, and down to earth personality every time she takes the stage.
PAUL DIBIASO KEYS, BACKING VOCALS- Long time friend and bandmate of Eric, Paul has traveled many miles with his keyboard case under his arm. The years of grinding out keyboard solos, piano parts, programming and sweating out vocal practices have paid off with the fast track success of EGB. Paul spent many of his early years years on the road with a touring group returning with the kind of chops that only experiece can develop. A gifted individual performer, Paul's vocals add tenor 3 and 4 part harmonies to EGB.

GRAEME BAERT DRUMS- It's clear by his percussion prowess that Graeme has been banging the drums very well for a number of years. However, there are a number of holes in his background story and, frankly, we have suspicions that he's in some sort of witness protection program. Ironically, these sketchy details make him perfectly qualified to be a member of EGB. We'll post more details about Grame as soon as we can get them confirmed by at least two reliable sources. Until then, we'll just keep encouraging him to keep laying down those magical rhythms for all he's worth.
DAN HANEY BASS- Originally a guitarist in some great club bands, Dan eventually found his home on 5-strings. Dan also spent many years inspired by the most technical groups out there. This intense theoretical exposure, along with his guitar background, has made him one of the most bullet proof and solid bass players out there. His unique sound and tone has been heard all over New England through the years, in club bands and tribute groups alike. Dan, once again, joins John and Eric for another musical mission; bringing EGB to the world.
CARLOS FLORES LEAD GUITAR- The red dirt of Corpus Christi, Texas is where it all started for Carlos. His first stop out of high school was the U.S. Air Force where Carlos served with pride around the world. During his years of military service, Carlos travelled the globe always finding time to delight the local music scene, and his fellow servicemen, with his considerable talent. Inspired by some of the great legends out there, he decided to grow his talents at the Berklee School of Music in Boston. There he would learn the foundation and skills that glued his street-smart riffs into a six-string tour de force. Craigslist was the matchmaker for Carlos and Eric and the Eric Grant Band was born.

TIM KIERSTEAD SLIDE GUITAR- Tim's gigging career began at the young age of 16. Under the tutelage of many local greats, his skills as a guitarist blossomed quickly.The guitar has been a centerpiece of Tim's life for over 30 years. Over the last few years, he's set aside his reputation for his aggressive chops and blues/jazz hybrid style to reinvent himself as a slide player. After years as a lead and backing vocalist, Tim brings yet another voice to the big vocal sound that is one of the EGB staples. Tim believes very strongly in the team concept and is thrilled to be part of a team of musicians who he holds in high regard.
BILL HAYES BANJO, MANDOLIN, FIDDLE- Bill is an accomplished player of many instruments including acoustic and electric guitar, electric bass, banjo, fiddle, mandolin, keyboard and drum machine programming. He developed an interest in music at an early age starting with piano at 6 years old. By 10, Bill had added a drum kit and an electric guitar to the collection. As a typical teenager, he joined a metal band at 15 years of age as a lead guitarist. Before joining EGB, Bill had spent over a decade in various hard rock and blues bands. His banjo and fiddle playing adds a distinctive element to the EGB sound. He also makes a great wrecking ball.
