Micah Grant Guitar & Bass

Micah is 27 years old and has been playing the guitar since he was 10. He was inspired to pick up the guitar because of his exposure to classic rock records played by his parents. As a high schooler in Laguna Beach Micah joined his first band, an alternative rock  outfit named The Hiders, and quickly began playing all over Orange County and Los Angeles. The Hiders shared the stage with Slash's Snakepit, Everclear, Common Sense, reggae giants Wailing Souls and Eek-a-Mouse, and Dishwalla just to name a few. After graduating high school Micah left the band to move to Hollywood to attend the world famous Musicians Institute (GIT Program), where he studied all facets of music including theory, ear training, live performance, song writing, improvisation, and reading. Micah graduated in 2002 and in August of that year began teaching guitar and bass at the Music Stand. Since then Micah has done studio work/ performed with members of Saosin(Capitol Records), Head Automatica (Warner Bros. Records), Yer Mom (CleanBox Records), Cheva( Embryo Records) and is a regular member of Marc Seal's touring band, who have played with the likes of Eric Clapton, Carlos Santana, Joe Walsh, and other guitar greats.
