The Guilty Bystanders

We call ourselves The Guilty Bystanders. We play lively, original music that would probably be best described as progressive Americana style music with a southern flavor. Put more simply, we refer to it as Southern-Western. John Grant sings and plays guitar with Greg Oomens on bass guitar, Mark Whitehead playing pedal steel, and Darnton Lewis on drums. We can be marketed as a truly authentic regional music act doing very palatable original material (we will do a few classic R&R/Country covers if required). The song quality and variety, lively rhythms and stage presence make for a great musical act. We can perform acoustic or electric or both. People remember the words and melodies. They may enjoy just listening or folks can dance to our music.
