THE STORY
The Story of The Gumbo Square Band It wasn’t until Serge Grad stumbled through the dense fog on Hastings Street in Vancouver….
That he saw the fragile side of humanity, in the hundreds of faces in front of him, the voiceless that could be found. This brought the birth of the song, Lonely Hearts, co-written with long-time friend and lyrical songstress, Amy Zahedi.
It was soon after that he contacted musicians that he had known for a long time, to form The Gumbo Square Band.
