Blues, Roots, and R and B with The George Gritzbach Band

The George Gritzbach Band plays inventive takes on classics and a healthy helping of innovative originals, offering a great mix of blues, roots, and R&B.

The band has appeared at various venues and Festivals across North America, including local nightclubs and Performing Arts Centers. They have opened for B.B. King, Bonnie Raitt, Robert Cray, and many others. They are also versatile enough to play unplugged acoustic sets for a more intimate experience.

The band, led by George, a serious blues devotee who caused a sensation when he first debuted on the New England blues scene, is now backed by a seasoned rhythm section featuring Scott Lariviere on bass and backing vocals, Johnny Menezes on keyboards and Christian McCarthy on drums, percussion and backing vocals. Rounding out the ensemble is the "Hot Gritz Horns" led by Peter Murray on saxes, featuring Joe Mongelli on trumpet and Paul Ross on baritone sax. The ensemble continues to be in demand as a high energy R&B dance band strongly rooted in blues, funk, and New Orleans styles.
