The Della Grants are an English band whose self-penned songs seamlessly bridge the gaps between Blues, Rock, and Americana. Since their inception in 2014 The DGs have made a name for themselves among industry professionals and fellow musicians alike; for their song writing ability and on-stage performances.

The DG’s are, above anything else, a group of close friends. Max Manning and Tom Best front the band on stage; sharing out the vocal, guitar, and harmonica duties. The band’s rhythm section (now in its seventeenth year) consists of Andy Boulton on bass & Tom Walker on drums. When it comes to song writing and arrangement (something the band prides itself on) all members are included throughout the process – although having said that, more often than not it’s Manning who proves to be the catalyst.

As of 2017 the band have been frequently joined on stage by highly accomplished musician & good friend Tony Robinson; who provides organ, piano, & trumpet. Over the years Tony has worked with a number of popular artists including: The Beautiful South, The Specials, Gomez, The Boo Radleys & Manic Street Preachers.

The DGs most current release; ‘Live Room Sessions - Vol 1’ (2017) was a must-do project for the band. So much had changed since the writing and recording of ‘First Fix’ and this live session was a way to showcase it all. Whilst recording their 2015 EP The DG’s had discovered their preferred recording method and felt the need to revisit a few songs from their first album. Couple this with the arrival of Tony Robinson; and the ‘session’ was booked in. The band chose to work with producer Jez Burns and the sessions took place at Yellow Bean Studios, in the band’s hometown of Leicester in the June of 2017.

Featuring a mixture of songs from their previous two releases and three brand-new tracks; the album ticks a number of boxes. It serves as a greatest hits so far – detailing just how far the band has come in terms of live performance, and the new material featured provides a window towards the bands future.
