Reviews from our 2nd Annual Tribute to Hank Williams.

Hey folks,
Once again we rang in the first day of the new year with our Tribute to the late great Hank Williams. I’ve spent the past 6 years of my life pursuing a career as a musician and no one has been more influential to me in talent, mythology, or deceptively simple beauty than Hank Williams. And it seems only fitting to honor the man & his music on the day he passed on.

So, it was once again our tremendous pleasure to share his music with you at not one, but two packed shows in our hometown!! Thank you all for making it such a wonderful way to start the new year.

The Sweet & Low Down opened each show and to be matter of fact about it: they were stunning. There were moments during their performance where they created a truly transcendental experience.

We’ve got some fine reviews in from the show and I’d like to share them with you, so please take a look.

Year in Review: 2011.

GGG on Jumbo Tron at Gillette Stadium

2011 has truly been a great year here in GGG Land. Like most years, it’s been filled with highs, lows and plenty of somewhere in betweens.

We had brushes with sports celebrities when Chad Ochocinco took a shine to the band & especially our song “Universe Began”. Then a huge highlight for us came when we performed before the Patriots vs Cowboys game at Gillette Stadium and got to see our mugs up on the Jumbo-Tron. Later that week Ochocinco posted a pic of himself rockin’ one of our new T-Shirts on Twitter!! Yeah, Twitter.

By the time the ball drops this New Years Eve we’ll have played over 170 shows this year, in 30 US States, and put over 50,000 miles on our trusty van. Traveled coast to coast, Northeast to Southwest, and almost everywhere in between.
We shared the stage with some of our favorite up and coming bands like Dawes, Hoots & Hellmouth, Miss Tess & The Bon Ton Parade, and Lake Street Dive, to got to rock with some of our all-time favorite artists like Southern Culture on the Skids, Dale Watson, & Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame inductee: Wanda Jackson.

We released our new album “Sweet Nothings” in August and were thrilled to see it make some very cool “Best of” lists on PopMatters and Yahoo Music, and got to see it chart in the Top 20 on the AMA Chart.

Something that really put a smile on our faces was taking home “Americana Artist of the Year” at the 2011 Boston Music Awards.

We had to say goodbye to our good friend Michael Calabrese, who’s served as GGG’s most consistent drummer for the past 2 1/2 years. He is one seriously talented and busy guy, and as you know GGG has a schedule that isn’t gonna be slowing down any time soon. So, we have welcomed to our family Josh Kiggans. A longtime friend, incredible drummer and all around good guy. You all are gonna love him and we can’t wait to get Josh out on the road and into the studio with us.

We started 2011 with something that meant a great deal to us. Honoring our biggest songwriting influence, Hank Williams, with a tribute show on January 1st. We’ll be back in Boston again this year on Jan 1st at the Lizard Lounge to perform our Tribute to Hank Williams with The Sweet & Lowdown (featuring Miss Tess & Rachel Price) once again opening the show.

Thank you for your incredible support in 2011, without you supporting us, encouraging us and sharing our music with those around you, we’d be sitting at home wishing we were driving all over the place making rock ‘n’ roll music.

We are really looking forward to a wonderful and eventful 2012. We’ll be starting work on a new album, touring all over the US and returning to Europe in March & April. So, be sure to keep in touch with us on Facebook & Twitter, support local music and truly, thank you again from the bottom of our road weary little hearts.

Come see us and say hello each time we come to your town!!
