Devil Grass- Debut Single, Upcoming Shows.

My band Devil Grass has recently released our debut single, "In The Cut."!

We recorded the track with acclaimed Phoenix-based producer Cory Spotts (Lydia, Stiletto Formal, Job For A Cowboy, The Maine... etc), who was absolutely phenomenal, and we can't wait to get back in and work with him again soon.

Take a listen here-

... or here-




To celebrate that release, and our "official" live-debut (that first run of shows was sort of a "test-run" ;) ), we're throwing a party! 

Saturday, February 20th, Rogue Bar, Scottsdale, Arizona. Be there.





We've hand-selected and curated the lineup for the night to make for a fun event... and Cultures has decided to release their awaited full-length album "Life Is Dream" that night as well! It should definitely be an exciting night, so mark your calendars. 

Shortly after that, we are opening for Shawn James and the Shapeshifters (check them out here, they kinda sound to me like if Man Man were from Arkansas...?) at Last Exit Live in Phoenix on Tuesday, March 9th.




Expect more fun news to come in the near future!


In the meantime... promoters, press, bookers, venues, etc... Consult our Electronic Press Kit for all the necessary details. ;)

New Music- Devil Grass



 


For those of you who follow me on various forms of social-media, this might seem like old news... but it's time to finally officially announce my new band- Devil Grass.






Devil Grass came together in early September of this year, thanks to the hard work, vision, and determination of our bandleader/ frontman, Michael Roberts. Somehow, within mere months of relocating to Phoenix from the New Jersey/ Philly-area, Michael had assembled a four-piece lineup of players who had all recently relocated from the East Coast. (If you understand the nod to that irony in our name, you win a prize. Message me.)




Devil Grass is a Phoenix-based desert-rock/ dark alt-country act. 

We are-

Michael Roberts- Vocals and guitar (New Jersey)
Joshua Motley- Keys and vocals (Kentucky)
Bernard LeVautour- Bass and backing-vocals (New Hampshire)
Craig Codrington- Drums and percussion (Vermont)







We played a series of three low-key, but super-fun, testing-the-water sort of live-shows over the last couple weeks... Look for information about a more elaborate and larger-scale "official" live-debut soon. It'll be fun, I promise.


As for "sound" and "content," we're going into the studio in mid-January to record our first single (peel your eyes), but in the meantime, check out this teaser-video we put together from some press-kit demos we tracked recently... This one's a cover of a Misfits song.




Follow us on social-media for full and regular updates, and fun behind-the-scenes content...






Enjoy, and let us know what you think! 


Hope we see you at a show soon!
