Gravity Feed

Band History

How many great bands can say they have to attribute some of their success to chance meetings via Craigslist? Well, sometimes you think you’re looking for a keyboard player and you find an uber-talented guitarist or a sensational saxophone player that make you look back and wonder what the band ever would have done without them. With a little luck and a lot of ambition, these 5 guys happened to cross paths, and they were off and running from the very beginning. Since 2008, Gravity Feed has been showcasing their talents to audiences across the southern US, leaving music lovers with dropped jaws and melted faces. Whether in their home-state or on the road, Gravity Feed has had the pleasure to rock awesome venues, from Colorado to Mississippi, and be a killer addition to festivals such as the infamous Lights All Night, Taste of Addison, Mulberry River Jam, etc; as well as, being able to open up shows for legendary musicians like Larry Carlto n. Their time they have spent together has led to humorous adventures and incredible musical memories, which will only continue into their bright future.
