Grandson on his tour, "Death of a Tour," in Salt Lake City on 3.4.2022.
Grandson, a Canadian-American alternative rock artist, stopped by Salt Lake City last Friday night. I had the pleasure of photographing him during his set, which was amazing. He brought not only theatrics, but fury and raw passion.
Grandson's music is political, dark, and honest. It touches the realities of life - from the personal side as in fighting addiction, to a worldwide scale, as in fighting for what you believe in. His energy onstage was matched by only the audience themselves, running, jumping around and singing his heart out.
Mid-set, Grandson left the stage to change out from the hopeful, bright "Grandson," to the dark, intense character of "X," a persona he's perfected over the years. He donned a suit and on-stage used black paint to smear X's over his eyelids. Later on, he incited a mosh-pit and even jumped into the crowd, surfing on the hands of his many adoring fans. I've never attended a show like it before and it was brilliant. Grandson is a one-of-a-kind act, a creative & unique artist whose music is worth giving a chance.
