Singing Contest and returned in 2000 and won first prize in the songwriting category. He
ventured off to Europe where he performed at various festivals and plays in Muskoka on a
regular basis.
Grant has a new song that he will be performing for the first time. He hopes that this new song
will be embraced by both his dedicated fans and will be discovered by new ones as well.
