Curtis Grimes is a 23 year old singer/songwriter from Upshur County who is pursuing his dream in the Texas Country Music scene.
Grimes was an academic scholar and athlete at Harmony High School where he was an All-State pitcher and member of the 2003 state qualifying baseball team. Following graduation he accepted academic and baseball scholarships to Centenary College in Shreveport, Louisiana.
After a break up with his then fiancé, it was here that he started playing guitar and developed an interest in songwriting. One day he went to a pawn shop, purchased a used Dean guitar, and taught himself to play. Grimes then “headed down 35” with plans of finishing his degree at Texas State University in San Marcos. While there he fell under the influence of the Texas Country music scene. With legendary venues so close, he was able to follow the Texas Country artists he looked up to. After playing for friends and relatives at gatherings and parties, Grimes was hooked by the entertainment bug. In the summer of 2007 he started playing acoustic shows at a couple of small venues for fraternity events and small bars. He then met fiddle player Jerry Reynolds and the two hit it off both as musicians and friends, landing multiple gigs at bigger events and venues.
His current band consists of bass player Ryan Sullivan, a graduate of Berklee College of Music, lead guitarist Nick Gardner who also attended Berklee, and drummer James Richardson, a music major at the University of Texas. Things definitely picked up for Grimes after he won the Austin leg of Kenny Chesney’s “The Next Big Star” contest, getting the opportunity to open for Chesney at the Frank Erwin Center during his Poets and Pirates tour.
In their first year as a full band, they have also shared the stage with Lee Ann Rimes, Jack Ingram, Cory Morrow, Aaron Watson, and Doug Stone to name a few. Grimes is now a part of a new wave of Texas Country where his influences are the headliners of today. Grimes has extended his fan base as a regular fixture on Austin’s renowned 6th Street scene and performed at venues such as Stubb’s, Midnight Rodeo, Antone’s, Blind Pig, Peckerheads, Maggie Mae’s and many others.
As he expands his sphere with performances around the state of Texas and Oklahoma, Grimes and his band definitely have things looking up.
Hey buddy have you ever heard of Philadelphia, Mississippi I let a buddy on the rig borrow my copy of your demo and you have turned into a living legend. Of course all the girls are going crazy. Every chick that hears you loves it but number 8 on your demo is what you need to cut on the next cd everyone loves that song. I holla at you when i get in.
hey man yall were great at the barn dance and when are you going to put "lonely river" and "never give up" on your myspace i love them 2 songs. I like them all im just sayin
You added yet another "memory we'll never forget". Curtis, you may never know how much joy watching you brings to me. Uncle Billy really enjoyed the show and I loved that he was able to be there. Watching Curtis and the band, a five day Yamboree holiday, family and friends, what could be better.
To all those ex students who ask "Why are you so partial to Curtis Grimes?" He is my favorite nephew. ( He shares that title with Lance, John, Jason, and Sam)
