Grand Sonic Theory!
The amazing new band sweeping the Internet, award-winning, breathtaking, totally original, like nothing you've ever heard, destined to be great stars, bigger than the Beatles, blah blah blah . How about the truth about San Diego's hottest new dance-rock party band???

Once upon a time, four traveling minstrels sat down to rest after a long day of traveling. When they completed setting up camp it was decided a fire was needed. They ventured into the deep dark woods in search of the perfect firewood to keep them warm throughout the chill of the night. The boys soon became lost and argued furiously on which direction led back to their camp until they came to a clearing. All four of them stood frozen in their tracks while gazing at a tall tower shining brightly in the light of the full moon.

A long rope of braided blonde hair hung from a lone window high above the ground. It was the obvious choice to climb the hair and discover what was on the other end. When they reached the dimly lit room, they stood in awe at a beautiful princess fast asleep on the floor beside a spinning wheel. Instinct quickly took over and the four minstrels burst into song. The princess awoke and answered in perfect pitch. The four minstrels quickly became five and the party began. Come join the party, or let us bring the party to you!




BAND BIOS


Victoria Rees
Victoria has always loved to sing, especially while performing in musicals, which led her to study Theatre at San Diego State University. After graduating in 2011, she enjoyed performing at Disneyland, on a Carnival Cruise ship, and at SeaWorld, where she also currently sings.

She absolutely loves being involved in musical projects outside of theme parks, and is still in awe of the tremendously talented musicians she has the pleasure of performing with in Grand Sonic Theory. She will never stop learning and pursuing her passion, and is excited to see what the future has in store!

“Whether playing in front of 20,000 people or in front of an empty bar with just a homeless man peering through the window, I always strive to put on an energetic show. Anything else would be less civilized.” — Chris

Keith Boone
band_bio_booneA native New Yorker, (HARLEM) Boone loves to mix in a little bit of it all. Motown or Santana to the Beatles, Rock & Soul has been in his blood forever. A proven road warrior to the stars and world traveler, he is at home on an arena stage or in a cozy coffeehouse.

If you can tap your toes to it, he wants to be there. As a member of the dynamic cover band “Grand Sonic Theory” the opportunity to perform all of his bass influences feels like home to him.
