Beaux Gris Gris & The Apocalypse (pronounced \bo\ \gree-gree\ ) California-based roots rock (blending Blues Rock Americana, Country, and Soul) band created and led by Louisiana-born-and-raised musician Greta Valenti (Well Hung Heart) and UK British Blues Hall of Fame Inductee, Robin Davey (The Hoax, DVL, Well Hung Heart). Due to the band’s cross-Atlantic touring, The Apocalypse comprises various talented musicians from across the globe. Joined by the talents of music industry heavyweights such as Tom Rasulo Drums (USA/UK) OR Alex Thomas (Anna Calvi, Bat For Lashes, Squarepusher) (UK) on Drums; Emma Jonson (UK) & Sam Robertson (USA) or Daniel Kirkpatrick (USA) on Keys, plus Stephen Mildwater (UK) and Chris Cunningham (USA) on Bass. Plus various other collaborations and guest appearances.
To fully understand Beaux Gris Gris & The Apocalypse, experience the band live. With a mix of soulful songs, intense energy, and world-class award-winning musicianship, RhythmBooze summed up the show finale as “A mind-boggling, blistering finish with everything thrown in including the kitchen sink...truly memorable”. When LouderSounds preaches “Let Beaux Gris Gris & The Apocalypse twist yer melons and remind you of the wonder of life” it might be because the band vibe is easier to pin down than their unique take on the roots genres. Rockshot Magazine elaborates “This extremely entertaining collective is a New Orleans-inspired, American blues-folk-soul band, who refuse to be pigeon-holed”.
Beaux Gris Gris and The Apocalypse's debut album Love & Murder spurned Top 10 hits in genre charts across Europe. The album's wide-reaching appeal earned it a #13 placement in the “Top 50 Albums of the Year” by Classic Rock Magazine, describing it as “A sensual, vibrant cocktail”. Having headlined festivals across Europe, including Upton Festival (UK), The Great British R&B Festival (UK), Moulin (Netherlands), and Blues Alive (Czech Republic), the band was nominated for Band of the Year at the European Blues Awards.
Multi-award-winning vocalist and songwriter Greta Valenti is Louisiana-born-and-bred creative with generations of her family dating back before the Louisiana Purchase. Her rock outfit Well Hung Heart (OCMA’s Best Live Band) toured the USA opening for Fitz & The Tantrums, Twenty One Pilots, Foreigner, and Offspring.
Guitarist & co-collaborator Robin Davey was the youngest ever inductee into the British Blues Hall of Fame. He spent time as an artist on Atlantic and Interscope Records and has recorded with a wide spectrum of artists from Mick Jagger to Katy Perry.
This year, the band is releasing their 3rd album, “Hot Nostalgia Radio” on their independent label, GROW VISION Music & Records, and touring extensively across the UK, Europe, & United States.
