"You can hear the baseline first, melodic and uptempo, backed by a solid drum beat. Then come the vocals, soulful and true. A keyboard lays down some sweet chords, with accents on guitar. The music swells, a horn section chimes in, until the song is in full swing. It's rocking. It's fresh. And it's yet another amazing cover..."The Door," by Teddy Swims, performed by The Graystones."
"The biggest surprise for most people when they see this band is the size of the musicians. In fact, the nine members range in age from 11 to 15 (most of them are 12). To call them a "kid band," however, might imply a lower quality, which could not be further from the truth. While slight in stature, The Graystones create a big and complex sound."
"A small stage in the middle of San Jose's upscale Santana Row has been home for The Graystones over the past few years. This is where they've learned to play in front of a live audience, improving their craft, and honing their stage presence. Videos of these performances populate their YouTube channel, which has exploded in popularity over the past six months, with over two million subscribers across all of their social platforms."
