Gravy Boys

About Me

The Gravy Boys perform a selection of original songs and covers that draw on our rich heritage of American music

The Gravy Boys perform with acoustic guitars, mandolin, upright bass, harmonica and dobro. They circle around one microphone to sing sweet 2, 3 and 4 part-harmonies that capture the fancy and attention of all who listen.

The Gravy Boys have just released their second cd of brand new, all original songs titled Dust Bowl Lover . The cd was recorded at Overdub Lane, in Durham, NC, by producer John Plymale. You can purchase a copy of the cd at CD Baby .
