Artist description The arrangements found on "On the Inside" are raw and honest, utilizing only organic instruments, such as saxophone, acoustic guitar, piano, dulcimer, drums, and bass. The songs range stylistically from quieter folk-influenced songs to catchy pop songs to songs that mirror modern post-hardcore and math-rock. Jared Grabb has a style that is solely his own.
