Grand Hallway

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Grand Hallway is an orchestral indie rock band from Seattle, Washington. It was founded in 2005 by singer/songwriter Tomo Nakayama (formerly of Asahi, Jen Wood), guitarist Jeramy Koepping (Voyager One), bassist Erik Numann, and drummer Bob Roberts.

They released their debut album, "Yes Is The Answer" in 2007 in Japan on Sideout Records (home to Bright Eyes, Cursive, Nada Surf, and the Velvet Teen), and self-released in the US. Upon completion of the album, Alina To and Jaclyn Shumate joined the band on violins.

Following a tour of Japan with fellow Seattle band Arthur & Yu and Shugo Tokumaru, Grand Hallway released an EP, "We Flew Ephemera" in February, 2008.

Grand Hallway will take part in the 2008 Sasquatch Festival in May.
