Their tunes favor horn-led themes and expressive soloing over grooves that touch funk, jazz, reggae and disco. Advance tickets are $15 and admission is $20 at the door.

Based in New York City, he has appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Good Morning America, and The View, and has performed with members of the Allman Brothers Band as well as artists including Buddy Guy, Stevie Nicks, Lady Gaga, Slash, Jon Batiste, and many others. In 2018 he performed with Sarah Brightman at The Phantom of the Opera’s 30th anniversary celebration and later joined Sara Bareilles, Alice Cooper, and John Legend in NBC’s live broadcast of Jesus Christ Superstar. He is also featured in Spike Lee’s Netflix series She’s Gotta Have It. The Gravel Project, formed by Andrew Gravel and featuring Jordan Gravel, Dave Fox, and Eguie Castrillo, blends rock, world music, and jazz with power and soul. Their sound carries the tradition of 70s blues and psychedelic rock with echoes of Santana, The Allman Brothers, and Tedeschi Trucks Band. Their fourth album, “Find What You Need,” delves into the work of sustaining healthy relationships, connecting songs through themes of love, growth, trust, remorse, frustration, and reconciliation.
