You may recall Jason playing last summer for the Emmett Benefit , and that is what draws him back again this year. I attended the show last year, you can see the pics and recap here. Emmett is the son of one of Jason's dear friends. Here is the official note about Emmett and this years benefit. "Emmett has a body that is [...]

WPvideo 1.02 TheHoldSteadyStuckBetweenStati onsLIVE Another year has passed, another cycle of seasons, another spin on the turntable of life. It's with mixed feelings that I present to you my Best of 2006.

About 100 folks or so were treated to a solo act from Grandaddy's Jason Lytle Saturday night. Jason was in town to play a art and music benefit for a dear friends son who suffers from Cerebral Palsey, Emmett. The night started with a silent auction with many great pieces of art as well as signed copies of lots of great albums. Artists like M Ward, Coldplay, Rilo Kiley and Bright Eyes all contributed to the cause. One of the items below is a humorously defaced Grandaddy poster Jason had his way with. [...]
