SHK Music Presents: The Gravel Project, Jen Kearney (Full Band) at Boston Harbor Distillery
This co-bill is the coming together of 2 bands who have separately headlined fantastic Distillery shows in the past. Both bands are a great experience on their own - their playing on the same night will make this an extraordinary evening.
The Gravel Project’s live show blends rock, world music and jazz with power and soul. Originally created by Andrew Gravel (vocals & guitar), the band is comprised of an all-star cast of Boston music veterans including Jordan Gravel (Hammond organ), Dave Fox (drums) and Eguie Castrillo (percussion). Joining them will be a pair of well-known Boston powerhouses: Jesse Williams on bass and Jen Kearney sharing the vocal duties. Carrying the tradition of 70’s blues and psychedelic rock music, The Gravel Project embodies the spirit of Santana combined with the classic raw energy and moving songwriting of The Allman Brothers and Tedeschi Trucks Band. They have headlined many shows around New England and shared the stage with a number of great bands including Tedeschi Trucks and Dave Matthews.

“singer-songwriter-keyboardist, Jen Kearney has now been back in the states for a while, whence she has just released a four-track EP…Jen Keeps to her soulful inclinations across the project, a whiff of Stevie with a little pop and some jazzier meat on its funky bones…”
-Chris Wells, Echoes Magazine
“Lots of things make Kearney’s new EP a wonderful trip: deep soul, jazz flourishes, huge funk horns, introspective lyrics sung in Kearney’s big, blustery voice.” – Jed Gottlieb, Boston Herald
“Jen Kearney is a gifted singer who can belt out a song with the best of them. She puts a refreshing new spin on funk music… modernizing it with thoughtfully conceived lyrics… simply mesmerizing.” -Steve Morse (Billboard/Rolling Stone)
