GravelRoad is preparing to release their 6th full-length studio album in the Fall 2016.  Capitol Hill Country Blues (Knick Knack Records) will be available on LP, CD, and cassette ... yes, cassette.  

The band continues to bring its high energy shows to venues throughout the US in 2016 and this fall will see a European tour in support of the record release.  GravelRoad’s mix of driving rhythms and heavy guitar sounds range from minute-long fits of angst to slow and methodical psychedelic tracks. "Rabbit Run," "Rather Be Lonely” & the album’s title track give followers a sense of the familiar from the veteran band. Conversely, the band pushes boundaries on Capitol Hill Country Blues' songs such as the Krautrock-inspired instrumental “Green Lungs” and the album's finale “I Feel High”, a stunningly beautiful solo acoustic track.  The album was recorded and mixed by legendary engineer Jack Endino in late 2015 & early 2016 and mastered by Rick Fisher at RFI.  The album photography was done by Jason Neuerburg.

Here is the title track from the new album: 

Here is some new concert footage of GravelRoad live at Alimentation Generale in Paris France on October 16, 2015.   The video was filmed and produced by Arno Vincendo of the band Teleferik.  

The video features superb performances of the songs "Rabbit Run" and "Monkey With A Wig".  

GravelRoad have completed their sixth studio album titled "Capitol Hill Country Blues", scheduled for a late summer 2016 release.  The first single "Come and Gone" is a bit of a departure from the heavy acid blues and reflects a stripped down approach that they took on this album which contains very few overdubs.
