With his bluesy electric guitar playing and blue-eyed soulful vocals, Andrew Gravel and his band have found plenty of fans in the local jam and roots rock worlds and drawn favorable comparisons to another group with Boston ties: the Tedeschi Trucks Band. Unlike a lot of their peers, the members of The Gravel Project have figured out how to bring the electricity of their live shows into the studio with a clean recording that echoes the best of their classic rock influences. Gravel digs deep in the new release (out June 13) to bring out these 10 musical stories that explore the complexities of relationships, with especially inspired playing from organist Jordan Gravel and master percussionist Eugie Castrillo.
The group, led by founding member, vocalist, guitarist and songwriter Andrew Gravel, features an impressive lineup: keyboardist Jordan Gravel, drummer Dave Fox, percussionist Eguie Castrillo, bassist Brad Barrett, and vocalist Jen Kearney. Each member is a dedicated musician – some even music educators – bringing a wealth of experience to the stage. But The Gravel Project is more than just a collection of talented musicians. Their live performances connect deeply with audiences, capturing the energy of artists who give everything they have to the music.
