Melissa Grady is a Bay area composer and cellist who has played on one of myfavorite albums (Rec Center's Tin Year) in addition to appearing on works by J.T. Brown, a video for Slim Pickens' Mighty Mighty Bosstones tribute and so much more. Shit, she even got roped into a vintage Creative Loafing Tampa post recounting a 2007 missive from New Granada Records co-founder Keith Ulrey.
On Wednesday night — at one of the final Acoustic BBQ's before New World Brewery relocates — the multi-talented musician (and Gemini) tasked a 10-piece orchestra with recreating works by Rec Center, Band of Sorrows, Geri X, J.T. Brown, Alexander and the Grapes, Candy Bars and more.
Yes, the Same Day Delivery Orchestra covered Sun Signs' "Gemini." Brian Mahar was there to grab some photos. Press play and have a look below.
