you left all your favorite records out in the sun; they all melted and re-formed into the UBER RECORD with all your favorite elements blended into a harmonious whole.

The Grift is an independent band from Burlington, VT. Their sound defies easy categorization, blending booty-shaking grooves and improvisation with radio-friendly hooks, witty lyrics, and tight vocal harmonies. Their live shows are energetic and original, with band members swapping instruments and occasionally playing two at a time. With a deep catalogue of original music that blends roots-rock and pop and jam, The Grift throws their diverse array of musical influences into the oven and cooks up tasty sonic treats.
Hey boys! I can't tell you how much I love the new CD!! Thank you so much for signing it :) Mom & Sarah have been filling me in on all of the shows I am missing. I wish that I was there, but I think that I am probabley going to be out West for a while longer. If you get your asses out here for any shows, let me know & I will be there!! About the new CD, I love all of it & am especially partial to La Fille de l'Auto-Stop (even though I don't speak any French) & Beautiful Urchin. Peter, is that you playing the trumpet in Confound it, Archie??? SO happy to hear that sweet brass :) Happy Belated Birthday Ryan! And I miss you all!!! Congratulations on all of your success!

Hey guys! My niece LOVED your show at MUHS. I had told her about the Grift when I found out you were playing, and I was proud of her for having such great taste in music to have enjoyed your music as much as I do myself. Keep us posted as to when your cd release party is going on in midd. she would love to come see you again!
