The Boston-based Nick Grondin Group presents its music as modern instrumental storytelling, inspired equally by rock, folk and contemporary jazz styles. Using a broad palette of sounds they aspire to connect the listeners and performers through sharing a music that is rich on many levels, intellectual and emotional. Mixed among the diverse original compositions in their repertoire are also re-interpretations of songs by bands such as the Beatles and Radiohead. The group was born in the summer of 2007 when Down Beat Magazine and ASCAP Young Jazz Composer award-winning jazz guitarist and composer Nick Grondin assembled a team of his colleagues then completing their Masters degrees at the New England Conservatory in Boston. They have been playing regularly in the Boston area ever since, and are currently finishing their first album to be released in summer of 2009.
