The Gand Band featuring Liz Mandeville...a Friends Pet Project Food Bank Benefit
Friend's Pet Project/Pet Food Bank ..."We provide food for the pets of low-income seniors and low income people with HIV/AIDS in the Coachella Valley. We have had too many animals surrendered to the shelter because people going through hard times cannot afford to feed their pets. Our mission is to keep people & pets together." The "Friends of the Palm Springs Animal Shelter" is a 501 c3 non-profit organization.
"The Gand Band brings great music to Palm Springs" The Desert Sun
Weekends at the Purple Room feature the one and only Gand Band deftly bridging the gap between then and now playing their blend of retro blues, rock, soul, and funk from the 50s, 60s and beyond
IF YOU LIKE: Motown, 60s Psychedelic, Spy Music, Chicago Blues, Ultra Lounge, you will LOVE the Gand Band! If Henry Mancini jammed with Cream, it might almost come close.
This dynamic husband and wife team bring their Chicago sound to the desert. Veteran bluesman Gary Gand handles the six strings, driving the band, channeling a bit of Eric Clapton, Freddie King and Jeff Beck rolled into one.
Keyboardist Joan Gand, grooves on classic Hammond B-3 style organ and bluesy piano with inspiration from Booker T. Jones, Jimmy Smith, and Ramsey Lewis, all while her left hand is laying down the bass. Vocalist Tony Grandberry, a.k.a."Mr. Fabulous" hails from Philadelphia and adds his soulful energy, powerful voice, and sense of fun to the band. Renowned sax man John Bolivar adds his jaw-dropping virtuosity and style, and drummer Roger King provides the all-important groove that makes you move! Throughout the season, special guests will join the Gand Band - watch for special shows as they are announced. Blues divas from Chicago will include Liz Mandeville and Shirley King. Musical icon and local resident Trini Lopez is a Gand Band fan, and joins the fun. Theme shows include Motown, Spy Music, Tiki Chic, Bossa Nova, and more you'll never see the same show twice with the Gand Band!
