Grandaddy is returning to Modesto! - 9am
Formed in Modesto in 1992, with the group eventually consisting of Jason Lytle, Aaron Burtch, Tim Dryden, Jim Fairchild and Kevin Garcia. The band initially broke through with 1997's Under the Western Freeway and the NME-praised single "Summer Here Kids." The band's sound, "atmospheric electronics meet warped Americana," crystallized on 2000's Sophtware Slump, which was met with breathless hype and earned the band "Next Big Thing" status.
