Grey Society

Grey Society was formed in the summer of 2003 by bassist Ron Woomer and guitarist/songwriter Todd Brant. The two had been in previous local bands and have performed studio sessions in the Pittsburgh, PA area. An energized live act with a classic rock feel and catchy hooks, this band features a very talented line up.

Vocalist Mike Kennedy joined the group in September of 2003, bringing the key ingredient to songs already in the works. His smooth tone and catchy phrasing places this act into a commercial setting, at the same time having a raw edge.

Guitarist Todd Brant shares the backup harmonies. Todd is a graduate of the Guitar Institute of Technology in Hollywood, CA. In addition to teaching, he has performed many shows and recordings in Los Angeles(Rokkin Horse, Paramount Studios), Baltimore, MD(Bill Dickson & MTT, The Imposters, Drat Production Studios), Michigan(Zarcon Studios), South Carolina(Tina LaRicci) and Pittsburgh, PA(Sunburn, Broken Promise, Soundscape studios).

Bassist Ron Woomer adds a very unique melodic sound to Grey Society. Ron won a scholarship to North Greenville State College in South Carolina. In addition to studying with Steve Watson, he has done freelance work over the years and has production experience as well in Pittsburgh, PA(Soundscape Studios) and live experience(Sunburn, The Swirleys).

Drummer Mark Panek gives solid punch to the band's high energy live show. Mark is a graduate of the Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA. He has many hours of recording, workshops and touring experience(Jodee Messina, The Grassroots, Foghat, 38 Special). Mark is also endorsed by Vic Firth Sticks Drum Shop and DW Drums.

Grey Society is currently doing Fall clubs/venues in the Southwestern PA region and plan on hitting other markets and regions in the Winter of 2004. They also have just been included on the Isound.com, Sound CD Vol. 1 Compilation. Look for their follow up to a 3-song demo(recorded Dec, 2003) in early 2005.
