George Grantham

George Grantham (born January 20, 1947)

Poco

With Buffalo Springfield disintegrated, Furay, Messina, and Young joined to create a new band, originally named "Pogo" but then shortly rechristened "Poco" after copyright concerns forced a change. The band needed a drummer, and Young recruited Grantham, who became part of Poco's founding lineup. Grantham's backup vocals were an important element of the band's distinctive harmony sound. Grantham remained a member of various Poco lineups through 1977, a span of ten studio albums and two live releases. He returned in 1985, and was part of four of five band incarnations before departing again 1990. Reunited once more in 2000, he suffered a debilitating stroke in 2004 and was unable to rejoin the band again until some vocals-only appearances in 2009.
