Known to some as the “Mustache Man”, Grady Spencer could be the Hub City’s best kept secret. Spencer’s music is not from the same loin as most on the Texas Music Scene. It’s the smell of mountain air in the midst of a dust storm. Grady Spencer and the Griswulds are a little bit Jack Johnson, Van Morrison, Joe Purdy, and Ray LaMontagne with simple effective lyrics about the things that we too often take for granted.
“I rarely listen to a lot of what people call Texas Music.” Says Spencer “With the exception of a few, Brandon Adams is one and I listen to Adam Hood a lot. I think the album that he just released is amazing.” Inspired by jazz and blues and bands like The Black Keys, Spencer remains true to an art form dominated by computers and audio manipulation. “When we go into the studio to record, we try to do things as live as possible.”
No place is this more evident than in his current portfolio. From solo album entitled “The Seminole Optimists Club” to his current offering, “Sunday’s Ships” which was recorded, mixed, and mastered by Alan Crossland at Route 1 Studios in Acuff, Texas.
If you find yourself in the “Hub” on a Friday or Saturday night and you spend enough time in the Depot District, you might just be lucky enough to find Grady and the Griswulds hanging out, “doing what they do”. If not be sure to check here for show dates and times. Can’t wait?… You can purchase “Sunday’s Ships” here.
