Bio
Holdin' Up Grants is an energetic two-piece rock band from Inverness County, Cape Breton. Mike Ryan and Bruce Gillis played together professionally with various bands in Nova Scotia for the previous 4 years, and now reside in Halifax. The band started in April 2007, when their current bands ended and the two wanted to contine pursuing music as a full time job. They play music daily in live together in a self-proclaimed “cluttered, garbage filled, mouse infested, drafty house, in a quiet neighborhood, that's a huge step up from our last place”. The duo recorded a six song EP “This Way” in June of 2007. The self-produced CD was all done in Mike's bedroom and the tracks take into consideration small town values, friendship, coming of age, hope, various intriguing people encountered, and the ever present trials and tribulations of life. The CD is receiving regular radio play across Cape Breton and Halifax, and a tour is being planned for the fall of 2007 to support the material.
