SOME FRIENDS OF EZRA:
What are some of the bands and folks associated with BTE up to?
This edition we check in with John Gros (of Papa Grows Funk),
The Graham Colton Band, and Grant Austin Taylor.

According to a recent Kevin Griffin message board posting, keyboard player
John Gros
will be on the new BTE CD. That's good, because if you have seen the House of
Blues DVD,
you know he truly is "funkier than you!"
The Graham Colton
Band
September 2004, Northampton, Mass.

The Graham Colton Band continue to log some serious road miles as they tour
in
support of their great major label release "Drive." Be sure to check them out,
they rock!
Recently Graham opened solo for BTE in Baton Rouge. I hope someone taped
Graham and BTE performing "Cigarette" together!

What's Grant up to? Grant's currently involved in a local acting group
in the Hampton Roads area, the Hurrah Players. He's also looking forward
to the production performances of "Holidays in Virginia" at the TCC Roper
Performing
Arts Center in Norfolk, Virginia (December 10-12).
Grant is equally excited that he will be performing in two separate events at
The Norva in
Norfolk, Virginia this coming January. On January 8th, he will
perform with his band and on
January 15th, he will appear alone with his guitar on stage for a
Star Search Talent Contest.
Best of luck Grant!
