Doors 7

Originally created by Andrew Gravel (vocals, guitar), The Gravel Project is an all star band of Boston music veterans including brother, Jordan Gravel (organ, keys), Dave Fox (drums), Jen Kearney (vocals) and Eguie Castrillo (percussion). The Gravel Project’s live show blends rock, world music and jazz with power and soul. Carrying the tradition of 70’s blues and psychedelic rock music, The Gravel Project embodies the spirit of Santana combined with the classic raw energy and moving songwriting of The Allman Brothers and Tedeschi Trucks Band.The release of their fourth album, "Find What You Need" is a deeply personal exploration of the complexities of growing, maintaining and putting the work into preserving healthy relationships. The way they shape us, challenge us, and ultimately teach us about ourselves. Every song is woven together with a common thread, capturing the highs and lows through the themes of love, personal growth, trust, remorse, frustration and reconciliation.
