In the fall of 2020, Great Grandpa - the close-knit group of Al Menne, Dylan Hanwright, Cam LaFlam, and Pat and Carrie Goodwin - didn’t know if they would go on. After starting on the follow-up to Four of Arrows, each member was called in different directions, some to new countries, new jobs, new life stages. But as Menne puts it simply, “Time passed and I missed my friends.” As any good relationship built on mutual love, trust, and a mountain of shared history, the quintet—who grew up in Seattle and have been making music together for a decade—were drawn back into one another’s orbits in 2023.  And now, with two new tracks and a run of tour dates on their belt, Great Grandpa continues.
