Savannah, GA
The Grand Gestures is a new side project/super group featuring a motley cast of characters from the Savannah music scene including Aaron Zimmer (guitar), Cory Chambers (mandolin), Jay Rudd (banjo) and Anthony Teixeira (bass) of City Hotel, Anders Thomsen (guitar) of Damon and the Shitkickers, Colleen Heine (fiddle) of The Accomplices, Jared Hall (piano, organ) of Velvet Caravan and Chris Fullerton (drums) of The Savannah Theatre. Bluegrass, Alt. Country, Honky Tonk, and irreverent pop covers are all thrown into the brew. The group first performed at City Hotel's "Dogged Days" album release at Southbound Brewery and are headlining the Savannah Super Friends show at The Jinx on Aug 7 (with COEDS and Velvet Caravan).
