Biography

Gramercy Arms is a revolving New York based collective of musicians and artists, masterminded by main songwriter/producer Dave Derby (The Dambuilders/Lloyd Cole). The group’s third album Deleted Scene and an accompanying EP (The Making of The Making of) produced by Ray Ketchem and mastered by Greg Calbi are both scheduled to be released on Magic Door Records in North America and Reveal Records in the rest of the world in the Fall of 2021.
