The Trouts are myself, Alan Grier, occasionally aided by bass player Randy Nelson and lyricist Tony Cullen. We have all played live in other bands in the local area. I think of myself more of a songwriter than a vocalist or musician. So my songs tend to sound a bit rough around the edges. All the tracks have been recorded by myself,at home, on a Boss BR-8 digital studio and all percussion sounds have been made on a Casio keyboard. Not an ideal set-up, but I try my best!
