Just The Crust 07/03/22: Stringman – Work Grandad ☀️

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Stringman “Work Grandad”! ☀️

we’ve know Alex AKA Stringman for a while now, a real lovely chap and with fantastic lyrical capabilities mixed with a real ear for lush guitar melodies, he’s definitely one to keep an eye on. this tune is from his new album out on the 9th! 🤘

this song “Work Grandad” is real lovely, you can really see the personal intimacy put into the lyrics and it really brings you into his world, giving you a lovely insight into the life of Stringman. 😊 the guitarwork in this is top, the melodies are lovely and with the production added in on top, with gorgeous piano lines and full band backing, we’re absolutely stoked to hear the album! 👊

the album will be released on the 9th March as we mentioned before, but in the meantime, you can find the full music video for this over on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GEwRGQvq_0 🎸be sure to give it a listen and a like if you enjoyed it!
