Press
“This is a powerful groove band who can rock you with style.”
Music Connection

“Creating a unique, mixed style of roack and soul, Mama’s Gravy is trying to get back to the roots of rock’n’roll and R & B.”

“Their songs groove. Of course, it doesn’t hurt that Ken is one hell of a singer. He’s got the voice that can lay out the emotion, and he’s got the stage presence to back it up”
