ABOUT

Hey there, I'm Dan Grannum, a bassist on a musical journey that spans over two decades. Over that period I have played with many musicians, bands and studied music at Northampton college over a 3 year live performance course, graduating in 2011.

Milton Keynes is where I've found my musical home. Currently, I'm holding down the low end for two fantastic local bands. There's Blunden, a psychedelic rock group with a funk-blues edge, and Beulah, an Americana country act that's all about soothing vibes.

In 2020, I took a plunge into the world of audio creativity by opening up National Sound—a dynamic creative space and recording studio in Newport Pagnell. Here, I wear many hats, from managing the space to recording and passing on the musical flame through teaching.

Looking to infuse some rhythmic magic into your project? I'm your go-to guy for temp and session playing in and around Milton Keynes.
