Grunge DNA

Grunge DNA first began as a three-piece band in the latter months of 2012 playing cover songs from the 1990's and the last great decade in music history. The original members were Dave Jordan on lead guitar/lead vocals, Brian Cahill on bass guitar/back-up vocals and David Jenkins on drums/percussion. The band got things up and running pretty quickly as they played a few shows by the early part of 2013. Unfortunately, things were put on hold as fast as they started because the lead singer/lead guitar player decided to take a break from music to start a family. The remaining two members decided to keep the vision of Grunge DNA alive and found some quick luck as the band found two new members in very short order to join the band and to fill the void. Grunge DNA officially became a four-piece band moving forward. Kevin Harper joined the band as the lead singer and Josh Nichols joined the band as the lead guitarist in May of 2013 making the band complete once again and better than ever. Grunge DNA had really found something going forward and the music really began to take off as these four members performed together at well over 200 shows from 2013 to 2018. In the latter months of 2018, another line-up change took place as Kevin Harper and Brian Cahill left the band in November to pursue other musical ventures. David and Josh quickly put their thinking caps on and recruited Patrick Ziemak to take over on lead vocals and Jim Black to take over on bass guitar. After six plus years together and more than 500 shows, the third version of the band disassembled and David the drummer put a whole new line-up together in October 2025 to keep the Grunge DNA dream alive. Mike Tedesco joined the band on lead vocals, Eric Fleming joined the band on lead guitar, and Jim Crompton joined the band on bass guitar.
