About Me

Grazgrove initially started out in Manhattan, KS at Kansas State University… the evolution of a group of friends. The ties of this band date back roughly ten years. Very early on, these guys quickly realized that a common denominator in their friendships was a love for music.
In the early years, this group of musicians would often times set up shop with beer and acoustic guitars on an apartment deck after coming home late night. Sooner or later, these friends started meeting other friends who enjoyed jamming as well. Open mic nights were formed, new instruments and sound gear was slowly acquired...
As time went by, the influences and musical interests grew and changed. So did the musicians that played together.
In early 2003, Grazgrove was officially formed. Electric rock began to work it’s way into the style, starting out by playing covers, mainly of the Grateful Dead. In early March ‘03, the very first gig as Grazgrove was performed at Pat’s Blue Rib’n in Aggieville… a staple venue for Grazgrove. The band kept on… practicing in basements, metal storage sheds, and living rooms. As shows were performed around the Manhattan area, friends, fans and followers began to develop.
Sometime between late ’03 and early ’04, the band members began finishing up school, migrating over to the Kansas City area, and started making new friends and fans. The band continued writing new original music, and leaning more heavily on those original tunes as each new show was played. Much has happened since that time, and Grazgrove has had the opportunity of playing in many different cities in the region.
Today, Grazgrove is a fully original 5-piece rock band. Having just finished up the production of their first-ever studio album, Biotic, this band is on the verge of entering a new level of performance and musicianship. One that is exciting, not only to the fans of Grazgrove, but to the band itself.

Four Stars
"This Kansas City jam-based outfit certainly knows its way around a groove as evidenced on the opening “Between the Screens,” a seven-minute, organ-infused number that has as much in common with Phish as it does Tea Leaf Green. There, as on so many of the other tunes found here, the quintet — guitarist/vocalist Chad Brothers, bassist Greg Herrenbruck, drummer Nick Grebel, keyboardist Grant Haun and multi-instrumentalist Grady Keller — leans on the muses of rock ‘n’ soul and comes up with richly-realized and potent musicality that will leave listeners in a haze of happiness."
