Kaleb Stewart (June 9, 1975 – March 25, 2021) was an American musician, vocalist, songwriter and former skateboarder.[1][2][3] Originally from Talkeetna, Alaska, he moved around in his childhood before settling in Tampa, Florida as a teenager,[4] and later made his home in Gainesville, Florida.[5] While in Gainesville, he notably played bass guitar and provided backing vocals in the melodic hardcore band As Friends Rust from 1998 to 2000, and in the hardcore punk band Bridgeburne R from 1999 to 2000 (both with lead vocalist Damien Moyal).[6][7] Stewart took part of As Friends Rust's reunion in 2008, and remained with the band until 2019.
Prior to joining As Friends Rust, Stewart had a short-lived professional skateboarding career, and sang in the post-punk band The Sarx and the punk rock band Southpaw (both based in Tampa), and played bass guitar in the Gainesville punk rock band Sissy. Following his time in As Friends Rust, Stewart played guitar and provided backing vocals in the punk rock band The Sheryl Cro(w) Mags (later renamed Cro(w)s), with his best friend Chris Wollard (of Hot Water Music), which was sporadically active from 2000 to 2004,[8] and sang in the acoustic folk duo Goodnight at the End of the Tunnel with Moyal in 2005.[9]
He began performing solo material under his own name in 2000, but by November 2001, his project had taken up the moniker Grey Goose. After recruiting several band members, including his brother Levi Stewart, Grey Goose evolved into a proper post-hardcore band.[3] Following Grey Goose's hiatus in 2005, Stewart returned to playing solo material under the short-lived project Bread Riot.
Stewart resumed his solo career in 2015, altering between bookings under his own name and as Grey Goose.[10] By mid-2017, he had abandoned the Grey Goose moniker and steadily performed under his own name.[3][11][12] He prolifically recorded a series of solo albums and EPs over the next three years and promoted the releases with five European tours before passing away in 2021.
