Gravel Road
Gravel Road
A dark and raw mix of Delta Blues, Punk Rock, and good old Rock 'n' Roll. Hip shakin', ass movin, deep, heavy and groovy.
Gravel Road is:
Stefan Zillioux - guitar, vocals, words
Marty Reinsel - drums
Kirby (aka, Jon Newman) - bass
Gravel Road started in the living room of The House in 1999. Listening to Fred McDowell, Junior Kimbrough, T-Model Ford, and RL Burnside every damn day had to have some effect on us...and when the guitar began to yell out at people walking by in the street, the drums had to follow. We had to play because all we heard in our heads was music...day and night...the pounding drums giving some ass to the one dirty guitar made to sound like three. We took this show into basements, on top of beds, in trucks and finally to the east where in another moment of inspiration, we yell for some bass and Kirby answered, and we've had the big bottom flapping the fat strings ever since. Stefan's Vocals, Guitar, and Words are deep and raw and hypnotic, spinning tales of sex, murder, death, love, redemption, and madness. Jon "Kirby" brings a thick, loose and groovy Bass glue to hold the mess together. Marty brings us a down home Delta rhythm whirlwind of Drums to keep us moving. Together, we are a band, and we will rock the sh*t out of you.
We released our first full-length self-titled CD at the very end of 2004 to some critical acclaim, received radio airplay all over the world, and played live. We love playing shows, love to see people sweat and shake and move and yell at us...and buy us drinks! We have grand designs on taking over the world along with our sibling band, Sugar Farm, and the combined might of both bands to form a super-group that will leave people sweat soaked & feeling like they've just had the best sex, and thinking..."What the f**k was that?!? I want some more!" Stay tuned good friends...we're coming for your souls and your asses.
