About the Band

The Electric Grandmother is a duo featuring a music/singer guy (EG) and a visual projectionist/backup singer girl (Mary Alice!).

The live Electric Grandmother show is a chaotic multi-media extravaganza, and it’s really good.

The Electric Grandmother is the inventor of the genre “Sitcom-Core.”™

This website is maintained by EG, who fancies himself an “online entertainer” of sorts.
