In early 2000, feeling as though they had musical talent and passion to
pursue their dreams, guitarist/vocalist Matt Boehm, bassist Kevin
Chapman, and drummer Scott Schneider laid the ground work for what
today is known as "Grey Haven", in a rural Texas town called
Hallettsville. GREY HAVEN’S music is definitely a reflection of their
influences from Alice in Chains, Stone Temple Pilots and Nirvana, just
to name a few. With Matt Boehm’s smooth, soulful voice, Scott
Schneider’s intense-sounding drums and Kevin Chapman’s intricate
bass
lines, GREY HAVEN is a band you don’t want to miss out on. Their
music, which has formulated into an explosive brand of hard rock with
soulful lyrics, is reminiscent of the days when rock was truly an art
form and garnered the mass with its evocative and emotional meanings.
In the summer of 2003, the band, then known as “Alchemy”,
relocated to
Austin, Texas and played countless shows as a power trio, fine tuning
their music and amassing a loyal following. The band also decided to
change their name to “GREY HAVEN” to reflect their creative style
of
music. The median of darkness and light, a limbo of sorts, where the
line between dreams and reality merge to form one; this is where their
music resides and from this they draw their inspiration.
GREY HAVEN continued to take the stage and receive positive reviews
from their shows. They worked tirelessly in building a more
synergetic
hard rock sound and strengthen their stage presence. In 2004, the
band decided it was time to release an album. GREY HAVEN went into the
studio and recorded their self-titled ten-track debut album
independently released in March of that year. The album met phenomenal
reviews from fans, local radio stations and music TV stations,
solidifying GREY HAVEN’S spot among the top bands in the Austin, TX
hard rock scene. The album’s success led to GREY HAVEN’S summer
2005
Texas tour, introducing many new fans to the band’s unique style of
song writing.
In 2006, fueled by their accomplishments and success in Texas, GREY
HAVEN decided to take a big leap venturing to Los Angeles, CA to
further their career in the music industry. Since then, the band
has
been exploring their new home and have played throughout Hollywood in
legendary venues such as; The Joint, The Whisky, The Derby, The Key
Club, The Viper Room, The Dragonfly, The Knitting Factory and many other
clubs located throughout L.A., gaining both regional and international
notice. The band’s most popular songs are also being featured on
iradioLA. They have recently signed with Customer Concierge Rights
Engine (CCRE) of Tokyo, Japan.
GREY HAVEN is in the process of writing their sophomore album, which
will consist of various rock genres and will introduce a new feel for
hard rock music that will appeal to a wider audience. In the
meantime,
they have recently recorded a 3-track demo CD that includes songs that
convey a deep message about ambition, blindness, and respect in the
world we live in today.
