History of John Grant & The Western Revue
Country Western music
fans and crowds at rodeo dances in Central Oregon have known his band as
Big John and the Rednecks. In 2005, the name of the band was
changed to John Grant and the Western Revue.
Ever since he
received his first PanAmerican guitar and instruction book from his grandfather
at age seven, hes been on the trail to success. Johns first debut
was in sixth grade, singing and playing Ghost Riders in the Sky.
Johns music was influenced by country artists such as Merle Haggard,
Marty Robbins, Bob Wills, Sons of the Pioneers, Hank Williams, Waylon Jennings,
Buck Owens, and Ian Tyson.
In addition to singing and playing the guitar
and fiddle, he writes many of the songs his band plays. John wrote most of the
songs on his first album, Fate of a Rodeo Cowboy, released in 1981 by
CIS Northwest. He and his wife, Suzanne, also produced and recorded a second
album called Cowboys Paradise in 1987. All ten songs on the album
are Johns original tunes.
In his free time, he helps his wife on
their ranch, raising around 16 horses, 4 dogs, and a cat, as well as two young
boys, Joe, 15, and Ross, 9. If you would like to see a few of his horses that
