Grayson Capps - New Orleans Waltz




Grayson Capps from Tennessee, Usa is a Country Blues Rocker.

His latest release, Wail & Ride (Hyena Records) is all things Southern fusion of Townes Van Zant and Drive By Truckers, is a great mix of roadhouse rock, soul and country blues.

Grayson now lives in Franklin, Tennessee on a farm that once raised thoroughbreds. The Thoroughbred barn has burned down but his place has a creek that runs through it and it's own cave. His band is now the Stumpknockers, which is the name of the little bream he and his granddaddy caught when they fished together. The Stumpknockers are Tommy MacLuckie (lead guitar), Josh Kerin (bass) and Mobile native, John Milham (drums).

"Take the poetry of Texas troubadour Townes Van Zandt, combine with Steve Earle’s edgy attitude and then stir it up with a little cup of bayou blues, à la Howlin’ Wolf, and you get a taste of Capps’ scrumptious gothic gumbo." - Exclaim
