The Grown Ups
Genre: Pop
Website: http://www.myspace.com/thegrownupsrock
The Grown Ups truly started in 1990 when two kindergarten students, Clint Tharp and Cory Perschbacher, met in Mrs. Archor’s class. Little did they know almost twenty years later, after “growing up”, they would be writing and recording music together.
Once Derek Harris was thrown into the mix, along with a synthesizer, everything just fell into place. Since then they have been recording like crazy. You can hear hints of Radiohead, Postal Service, Wilco, Ryan Adams and even Danny Elfman in the music. Since then we have been recording like crazy.

“I want to help others through my music, and I feel that I’m well equipped to do so.”
Andrew DeBarge was born September 28, 1989 in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Before he could focus on anything else, music had captured him and revealed to him a gift of freedom. He began playing drums at age four. He didn’t have a drum set but he discovered that pots and pans, walls, or any surface handled the job just fine. He eventually progressed onto playing the piano and guitar during teen years, allowing his hands the dignity of being used for various musical creations. Andrew being a natural at all things he purposed to accomplish, also found himself to be a good dancer. Andrew realized at a young age that music brought about peace. It had an astonishing power of healing that could be used to change lives if held in the correct hands.
Andrew comes from a heritage of music. His mother, April, studied piano beginning at the age of seven and is also a singer and songwriter. His father, Thomas (Tommy) DeBarge was bass player for the pop groups Switch and DeBarge in the early eighties and is also a skilled singer and songwriter. Andrew’s uncles and aunt made up the legendary group DeBarge who laid a foundation of good, melodic, soulful music during that era. Andrew’s talent hints that he has the same capability. Former generations for both mother and father were also musicians.
