"The Harwell Grice Band has been entertaining audiences throughout Virginia, nonstop for the past five years. Their original Bluegrass and Americana mixed with a large repertoire of traditionals and even a few popular covers result in a very entertaining show. The Harwell Grice Band was formed when four friends: Josh Grice, Matt Hubbard, Gabe Robey and Spencer Young got together back in college and started playing bluegrass. After playing a few times they started writing and performing their own material around Radford University (Virginia). After nearly five years of playing for friends, bars, parties, weddings and festivals, The Harwell Grice Band has morphed into a talented and versatile group of musicians, sharing the stage with the likes of Larry Keel, Seldom Scene, Tony Rice, Blue Highway and Chatham County Line to name a few. The main songwriter and lead singer, Josh Grice, has a singing style similar to that of Ronnie Bowman. Lead guitarist, Gabe Robey, also sings lead and harmony vocals and makes major contributions to the bands original material in the way of songwriting. Members Matt Hubbard (mandolin) and PJ George (doghouse bass & baritone vocals) hold down the rock solid rhythm section of the band and also contribute with original material. The latest addition to the band joined in late 2008 and is no stranger to bluegrass music. Stewart Werner, formerly of Second Helping, is a banjo extraordinaire that comes to the band as a seasoned bluegrass musician adding bass vocals and songwriting ability. The bands musical arrangements and three and four part harmonies are some of the best in the business. Their lyrics are both meaningful and honest and reflect a special unconformity while staying true to the traditions and themes of Appalachian music. With the release of their debut album "No Place to Call My Home", The Harwell Grice Band is surely on its way to bigger things."
