THE GRAPE AND THE GRAIN began in 2012 as a solo project for Daniel Grimsland (bassist for Woodstock, NY's progressive rock band ‘3’ — listen to <a href="spotify:album:5CPfUzQehLGmpTRbHE3e5Z" data-name="The End Is Begun (Special Edition)">The End Is Begun (Special Edition)</a> ). Seeking to challenge himself, Grimsland wrote, produced, and performed the entirety of his debut album <a href="spotify:album:5qP8abyKHRoXDqT8dhUyDG" data-name="Better Keep Digging">Better Keep Digging</a> in 2013. Grimsland and some close friends and musicians then recorded and self released the sophomore self titled album <a href="spotify:album:4E0CeV6Sk2uQUPsfVGgklJ" data-name="The Grape and the Grain">The Grape and the Grain</a> in Woodstock, NY at Applehead Recording (Coheed and Cambria, Rich Robinson, Bad Brains).
Grimsland then recognized a need for road ready musicians and collaborators in order to advance. He called on longtime friends and rockers: <a href="spotify:artist:6P8jTIJaR8F6QO53tLTtcQ" data-name="Daniel Marc">Daniel Marc</a> - Guitar, Mo Kelly - Bass, and Steven Markota ( <a href="spotify:artist:7GHEAdJHFC8W1ezbuimUvj" data-name="Nightmares For A Week">Nightmares For A Week</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:7wEkdwpx7bSDhRexrs94er" data-name="Geezer">Geezer</a>) - Drums to join him in his project.
