The Grandsons

 

 

McLean Central Park Gazebo

A fan aptly described The Grandsons exuberant sound as "American music in a blender with the lid off." The more prominent elements in this eclectic whirlpool are New Orleans rhythm and blues, rockabilly, swing and country two steps.

The Grandsons come home with their danceable mix of rockabilly, New Orleans R&B and swing. These Wammie Award-winning, McLean High School graduates always draw a big crowd.
