An Evening with Grits & Greens

What do you get when you blend: the southern grit of The Allman Brothers, the progressive rock of Rush, the punk rock energy of Paramore, the soulful vocals of Lake Street Dive, the intricate soundscapes of Pink Floyd - then add a dash of the funk of Little Feat; season with the emotionality of Kings of Leon; and finally garnish with the soaring harmonies of Fleetwood Mac? A cosmic gumbo from Hattiesburg, Mississippi called Grits & Greens.

Boasting an infectious energy, Grits & Greens sends the listener on a musical odyssey at every show—honoring their many influences in a way that feels uniquely authentic. The band combines tight grooves, catchy melodies, and charming stage presence with a keen ability to narrate the human experience: telling stories of life’s struggles, the joys and pains of growing up, and the realities of social injustice.

In 2024, the band released their debut, self-titled album selling over 500 vinyl copies in a matter of weeks. Following the release of their first live album, ‘Live at Purple Bee,’ in 2025, the band has just released their latest single, “So Much Fun.” With recording, mixing, mastering done solely by the band and the lyrics a picture of the struggles and triumphs of an up-and-coming band, the song truly embodies the tenacious, DIY spirit of Grits & Greens.
