Rollo Greb is a peripatetic group of four musicians who converged in the heart of Tennessee in Murfreesboro. Finding a musical home just 30 miles from Nashville, Brian Dempsey, Brandon Dempsey, Harlan Smith and Patrick Johnson create a distinctive modern rock sound with nods to past American roots masters.
With primary emphasis on concrete songwriting, ambient aural textures, and an aggressive live performance, Rollo Greb is quickly developing a devoted fan base while releasing its debut self-titled album. All accomplished musicians on their own, the members of Rollo Greb draw upon the bottom-lands of the Mississippi Delta and the stark resonance of Appalachia to bolster their creative process.
My new record just came out this week on I-Tunes and CD Baby. I have included a video talking about the record, hope you enjoy it! Please leave us some feedback to let us know what you think! Thanks for your support.
