In early 2000, feeling as though they had musical talent and passion to pursue their dreams, guitarist/vocalist Matt Boehm, bassist Kevin Chapman, and drummer Scott Schneider laid the ground work for what today is known as "Grey Haven", in a rural Texas town called Hallettsville. GREY HAVEN’S music is definitely a reflection of their influences from Alice in Chains, Stone Temple Pilots and Nirvana, just to name a few. With Matt Boehm’s smooth, soulful voice, Scott Schneider’s intense-sounding drums and Kevin Chapman’s intricate bass lines, GREY HAVEN is a band you don’t want to miss out on. Their music, which has formulated into an explosive brand of hard rock with soulful lyrics, is reminiscent of the days when rock was truly an art form and garnered the mass with its evocative and emotional meanings.In the summer of 2003, the band, then known as “Alchemyâ€, relocated to Austin, Texas and played countless shows as a power trio, fine tuning their music and amassing a loyal following. The band also decided to change their name to “GREY HAVEN†to reflect their creative style of music. The median of darkness and light, a limbo of sorts, where the line between dreams and reality merge to form one; this is where their music resides and from this they draw their inspiration. GREY HAVEN continued to take the stage and receive positive reviews from their shows. They worked tirelessly in building a more synergetic hard rock sound and strengthen their stage presence. In 2004, the band decided it was time to release an album. GREY HAVEN went into the studio and recorded their self-titled ten-track debut album independently released in March of that year. The album met phenomenal reviews from fans, local radio stations and music TV stations, solidifying GREY HAVEN’S spot among the top bands in the Austin, TX hard rock scene. The album’s success led to GREY HAVEN’S summer 2005 Texas tour, introducing many new fans to the band’s unique style of song writing. In 2006, fueled by their accomplishments and success in Texas, GREY HAVEN decided to take a big leap venturing to Los Angeles, CA to further their career in the music industry. Since then, the band has been exploring their new home and have played throughout Hollywood in legendary venues such as; The Joint, The Whisky, The Derby, The Key Club, The Viper Room, The Dragonfly, The Knitting Factory and many other clubs located throughout L.A., gaining both regional and international notice. The band’s most popular songs are also being featured on iradioLA. They have recently signed with Customer Concierge Rights Engine (CCRE) of Tokyo, Japan. GREY HAVEN is in the process of writing their sophomore album, which will consist of various rock genres and will introduce a new feel for hard rock music that will appeal to a wider audience. In the meantime, they have recently recorded a 3-track demo CD that includes songs that convey a deep message about ambition, blindness, and respect in the world we live in today.Grey Haven LIVE at The Whisky-a-Go-Go Hollywood 10/26/07
