With The Muster Point Project‘s “Grub Street,” we are invited to go back in time to enjoy a nostalgic atmosphere, hear a melancholic yet heartfelt story, and enjoy a melodic and vibrant blended sound. Are you ready for a splendid journey?

Before we take off to vintage the realm of “Grub Street” and dig deep into its sensitivities, let me tell you a bit about the talented musician behind the song. The Muster Point Project is the brainchild of Canadian artist Kevin Franco. The musical project’s spark ignited in late 2020, and since then, Franco has made sure to make authentic music that sounds organic and alive. To know more about his creative process, his music will speak louder than my testimony.

“Grub Street” is the third song in a five-song EP where Kevin Franco collaborates with novelist and lyricist Geoff Moore to offer sincere storytelling through both the lyrics and musicality. The song features other skillful musicians who add richness to the song with their mastered, passionate playing. You’ll find Oleg Pisarenko on accordion, Taylor Allum on drums, and Marcelo Effori on percussion.

The song starts off with a spirited mandolin that will instantly capture your attention and set a cheerful mood for you. However, jokes on you if you thought you were going to hear a euphoric story; the elated melodies are accompanied by a breakup story where you’ll find each lyric drawing a scene in front of you. It’s written in a sophisticated literary manner, which allows your imagination to travel back in time to an era that hasn’t even existed yet; nevertheless, you’ll relate to and sympathize with the affection and ache.

The vocals strike a perfect balance between the bitter story and the levitating instrumental. Franco’s vocal line is warm and upbeat at the same time; he brings the story to life with his sentimental performance. The blend of Folk, Americana, and Rock gives the song a fresh feel, especially with the brilliant selection of instruments. Each instrument feels like coloring a part of the retro scene, and as it aligns with the vocals, you’ll get the desired story illustrated, and you’ll be charged with energy and emotions.

If you can’t set your compass to the needed destination, the artistic artwork will be your guide. This is the kind of journey you don’t want to miss, so press the play button and prepare yourself for a remarkable journey.
