Grits & Greens

Starting out in 2017 as a husband and wife acoustic duo, front woman Ryann and guitar player Jesse have spent the last few years fine tuning their on-stage chemistry. When their songwriting began to take a rock and roll turn, they embarked on the quest to find a rhythm section that could match their chemistry and bring their vision to life. Soon after, Grits & Greens was born.

On stage you can expect to see Ryann’s powerful, gritty voice that is both sweet enough for the gospel and rough enough for the blues. Accompanying her is Jesse’s soulful slide guitar work characterized by unusual tunings. The rhythm section and heartbeat of the group shines with Adrian’s explosive yet intuitive percussion style, and Kenny’s groovy and driving bass lines. Their lyrics tie it all together, sharing stories that are personal, playful, and perfectly satirical.

The obvious love that the band has for each other and playing music is beautifully exemplified by their warm stage presence and tight performances. This bond keeps their music fresh and ever-evolving, always leaving the listeners wanting more.
