A fine blend of sweet country soul, and southern hospitality, gives this Indiana band a heart felt sound all their own. Born and raised in Greenville South Carolina, former truck driver, singer songwriter, Chris Taber holds to the tradition of southern musical storytellers as he fills his songs with passion and vivid detail that is personal, political, and universally appealing. Thought-provoking lyrics, gel with layers of acoustic and electric guitars, rolling bass lines and a dynamic mix of worldly percussion and drums. From southern fried rock to raw funk, country hooks, and bluesy soul, Pure Grain delivers devastating high energy live performances. Debuting in 2002 with No Regrets, following up with Freedom Child in 2005, Pure Grain has built an intensely loyal following across middle America sharing the stage with the likes of Hank Williams Jr, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, John Michael Montgomery and others. With Out of the Storm, the bands latest release, Pure Grain takes a giant leap toward a broader national audience.
Out of the Storm, produced by the bands drummer Brian DeBruler, at his small town Indiana studio and released on his indie label SOL Records, boasts some of Taber’s most prolific and powerful music to date. The CD features 12 songs (all written by Taber and the band) inspired by real life experiences and prophetic observations. Along with his musical companions and long-time friends producer/drummer Brian DeBruler, percussionist Michelle D’Amico, guitarist Dave Lacey, bassist Artie Chaney, and new comer/backing vocalist Courtney D’Amico, Taber and Pure Grain move effortlessly through a myriad of stylistic shifts and turns, as his rich soulful, and commanding vocals pull you into the middle of each and every song.
Since its release Out of the Storm has brought Pure Grain from relative obscurity into the national country music scene, especially with people in the trucking industry...Their homegrown “Truckin’ Song” video has landed right in the hearts of truckers the world over and got the attention of the Sirius/XM Road Dog Trucking Channel. In a few short months they have been featured on the Dave Nemo Trucking Show, penned the theme song for the Highway Headlines show, both on Sirius/XM, and have been featured in several trucking enthusiast magazines across the country. "Out of the Storm straddles the style line between blues, rock and country as it poetically chronicles the tumultuous nature of life spent on the road" said Todd Dills of Truckers News Magazine
“Out of the Storm” is not all about truck driving. The Carolina Kid and the rest of Pure Grain, show off their southern charm and at times, cut loose on the funkier side leaning toward the sum of their influences, The Allman Brothers, Marshall Tucker, Charlie Daniels, or a little James Brown. Taber’s soulful powerful vocals hint at the times of Otis Redding or Chess records greats Muddy Waters, or Etta James. Blending these elements Pure Grain manages to be contemporary and classic at the same time, producing a uniquely identifiable sound all their own.
