Jeff Grant moved to Bloomington in 2008 from Richmond, VA, where he had been drumming in bands since 1995 (Stop It!!, FOOD, others). In 2005, he made his first venture into songwriting, fronting the band Pink Razors, who released two albums and 2 EPs in the three years before effectively splitting due to moving to different parts of the country. Once in Bloomington, Grant claimed Full Sun as a solo project - playing and recording all the instruments for the first time. He released the "High Ceiling" cassette in 2011, followed quickly by the "Bare Floor" cassette, and the "Stay Awake" 7" the next year. Encouragement from peer musicians led to forming a live band, who played a handful of shows before members left for other towns. 2014 saw the release of the first full length LP, "Itch" whereupon Grant called up other musicians to fill out the sound, and engineer John Dawson to record the bulk of the tracks at Magnetic South.  Next came the "Stick It" cassette ep (2016) and "Thinkin About It" album (2018), enlisting full-time members Erin Tobey, Alex Mann, and Cole Champion. Meanwhile, Grant has stayed busy over the years, also starting the band The Sands who released the "Hotel & Casino" LP in 2014, before half the band again moved away. He currently drums for Erin Tobey and Rodeola, formerly Fat Shadow, Triptides, Frankie & the Witch Fingers, and filled in with Mike Adams At His Honest Weight.
