This new Gumbo, Grits & Gravy line-up is a “gathering” featuring three brilliant musicians with culturally and musically diverse yet perfectly well-suited backgrounds. As the name implies, Gumbo, Grits & Gravy is grounded in the camaraderie of family and friends gathered on the front porch swapping stories and songs, in the roots of a hearty, home-cooked meal, the foundation of family and tradition. This meeting is already becoming the most joyous celebration of a musical and cultural diversity that the trio is excited to offer to the world!
