Since singer-songwriter Graydon Wenrich released his first two solo singles last year, he’s changed his business name from Grady to Grady Strange. Because, as we’ve discovered, there are too many Gradys and not enough strange.

The former frontman of Nashville’s Lonely Biscuits, now stationed in L.A., recorded his early work himself on a basic 4-track, but his new single “I Listen to Your Radio Show at Night” finds him working in the studio with Joel Jerome.

The tune is a brisk rocker the likes of which a certain generation used to love hearing on the radio at night, especially if it was summertime and you were cruising around in the car with the windows down. (Who knows, that might still work.)

In the video for the song, directed by Cole Santiago, Grady Strange is joined by Mackenzie Howe (The Wild Reeds) and Kole Sharp as they rock the song. Isn’t getting through on radio station request lines a bitch, though?

“The idea for the song came when my uncle told me he often tunes into his daughter’s college radio show late at night,” Grady says. “That painted a sad but sweet picture for me, and I immediately wrote the song in a few minutes. I then later changed some lyrics around to make it more of a classic love and longing tune.”
