Nils Lofgren
Lofgren became a lyricist as he continued to write the majority of the group's songs. Simultaneously, he was sharing his vocal duties with other members of the band. Soon after the release of his second album, he added his brother Tom Lofgren as a rhythm guitarist in his band. Grin made a success with his critics, but it failed to hit the big time.
