Now retired from a life 'on the road' as a freelance keyboard player, I compose and record in my home studio, situated in the Carrick Hills in Southern Scotland. My music is mainly instrumental in nature and is a reflection of my life experience, sometimes real and sometimes imagined.
My influences are many and I have quite probably been shaped by listening to the very many "giants" of music, both players and composers. From classical to contemporary jazz and everything in between. My main instrument is the keyboard, whether that be piano, organ or synth. But I also play banjo, flute and percussion. I have a special relationship'with bass, whether upright or electric and use virtual and synth basses from numerous sources, but mainly Trilian by Spectrasonics.

Manchester born singer/songwriter Liam Grundy tours the UK, Europe and the US playing solo and band gigs with his own brand of Rock and Roll Country Music. Artists such as Dave Edmunds have covered his songs and he continues to produce great classic songs year on year.

Working with Elvis Presley guitar legend Scotty Moore, saw Liam co-producing an Album ‘Western Union’ with Scotty and touring the UK and Europe extensively with him and DJ Fontana. In recent years, Liam has toured with artists such as James Burton, Billy Swan, Shakin Stevens, My Darling Clementine, John Otway among others and released 2 CDs ‘Richmond’, 'Houston' and 4 singles Christmas In Memphis, No Girl In Tennessee and Every Time It Rains (2020) 
Recently Liam has released 2 further singles This Is The Whiskey Talking and Somewhere In The Past. 
They will be included on Liam's new album 'Chorlton' for Hot Tomale Recordings, which will be released later this year.

Liam’s live gigs are a mixture of original material and well-chosen bar-room anthems. Whether solo or with full band, Liam’s strong vocals and great musicianship - learned from backing up many artists such as Steve Cropper and Jack Bruce – make for a great gig every night. 

Liam's regular band features Richard Sadler, Preben Raunsbjerg and Neil Bullock.

"Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep." - Scott Adams

"What occurs in the world is that everyone who is born, is born, in some manner of speaking, a poet, the creator of something that did not exist in the world before, till they were born. It is entirely individual.
Man is not born to work, Man is born to create, to be that poet at random. And give to the world his own particular message, to realize the work that can be done and because he is unique, his work will be the only one of the kind in the world." - Agostinho da Silva
