rivets in the RHYTHM & jeans in BLUES

Lucas  Gorham

Why did you start making music ?
 My name is Lucas Gorham and I am the lead singer and songwriter of grandfather child.

Who are your influences in this current  project?
 I started playing music when I was 13 because me and my cousin wanted to start a band. I started on bass guitar.

 What are you listening to right now ?  
 Check out a genre of gospel music called Sacred Steel. Also, a whole lot of R&B music from the 60s-90s seems to influence us. Also a genre of blues called houserockin' blues.

Do you write the lyrics or the music first ?
Both. It really depends on how the song idea reveals itself in the moment.
 

Whats the last thing you ate ?
