Crystal Gravy is the greasiest funk band in Chicago. Logan and Bill are still puttin' down the grooves, and now we've got Charly Barbera on percussion, funky-ass Drew Margin on electric guitar, and a heavy-hitting three-part horn section: Brent on bari sax, Matt on tenor, and John on the trumpet. Check out our live shows here in Chicago. Most of them are free, and if you bring a date, you'll probably get laid. Yeah, it's that funky...
