Hailing from the the Iowa side of the Quad Cities, Avey Grouws Band resonates with the raw power of the Mississippi River, infusing their roots rock sound with a diverse blend of blues, rock and soul. Fronted by dynamic vocalist Jeni Grouws and fueled by the guitar prowess of Chris Avey, this two-time top ten Billboard charting band has carved out a reputation for a gritty sound paired with electrifying live performances.
Sophomore album, “Tell Tale Heart,” recorded in Nashville, Tennessee, under the guidance of Grammy award winner Casey Wasner (Keb’ Mo’, Taj Mahal), stands as a testament to Avey Grouws Band’s musical evolution. Released in 2021, “Tell Tale Heart” stormed onto the scene, debuting at an impressive #7 on the Billboard Blues Album chart. This achievement followed their 2020 debut album, “The Devil May Care,” which also made waves on the Billboard charts, peaking at #10 and marking the band as a formidable force in the roots rock landscape.
In the past year, Avey Grouws Band embarked on a journey, taking their invigorating performance to stages across the nation. From the sun-drenched shores of Florida to the vibrant energy of the East Coast, and from the heartland of the Midwest to the dazzling lights of Las Vegas, the band captivated audiences with their energy and talent. Notably, their appearance at the renowned Big Blues Bender 2023 alongside legends such as Keb’ Mo’, Shemekia Copeland, Danielle Nicole and Tab Benoit further cemented their status as rising stars of roots rock.
