Fervid Philly EDGE readers should remember Patrick Grant from a story we did on the fine young man in the print version last May; he won the April Open Mic competition we held at Puck in Doylestown and the story was part of his prize.

Truth is, he deserved a story regardless.

The singer/songwriter from Lansdale is as active as ever: He'll be playing the Tin Angel this Saturday (Jan. 19) at 10:30 p.m. and he'll be recording a DVD during an all ages show at Puck on Sunday, Jan. 27.

Grab your tickets early, kids.

Oh- and check out the Mayer/Mraz vibe of Grant & The Rising on "Slowly" at our MySpace page.
