Singing “Chansons Francaises” from Charles Aznavour, Gilbert Becaud and Jacques Brel, to beloved Deutsche Kabarett, Pop and Schlager Lieder”, mixed with songs reminiscing his time in London and the continent. BIO Born and bred on a sheep and cattle farm in the northern NSW Highlands, Grant made the decision to forgo studying Architecture, to concentrate on his natural artistic and stage abilities. He started his career in the Wrest Point Casino in Hobart, then afterwards on a Tokyo stage, which in turn would bring him to Europe to begin his international career, a great feat for “a boy from the bush”. After working in a revue theatre in Barcelona he moved to Paris to perform in the “Lido”, and the “Moulin Rouge” (lead singer of the Revue “Formidable”), which were to be the foundation of his “Entertaining” style. Grant then had a wonderful opportunity to perform in the most successful musical of all time, “Cats”, where he starred in Paris, Hamburg, and Zürich, playing all three lead male roles of Munkustrap, Rum Tum Tugger, and Gus. He moved to Berlin to be leading soloist in five different shows on the fantastic stage of Europe’s largest revue theatre, the “Friedrichstadtpalast”. Between these engagements Grant toured extensively through Europe in such productions as “the Andrew Lloyd Webber Gala”, “Gershwin”, Theater an der Wiens “Classics”, “Disney Musical” stage shows. For many years Grant has been having great success with his own “one man” Shows, and enjoys the freedom to work freelance, performing his shows on Cruise Ships, Galas, Events, etc. Grant is back home now and excited to perform many classic Pop and Rock hits, and ballads, together with some of his continental European repertoire, to give his Australian audiences a culturally rich, elegant and exciting show.
