“Grits & Greens can best be described as a formidable quartet, epitomizing the essence of rock and roll. At every show they send their audience on a musical odyssey distinguished by their soul-stirring melodies and indulgent, jam-infused performances.” Bring the kids out for the annual Duck Jam block party with additional family fun activities and give-aways.
Music starts at 7:00 PM, Gate opens at 6:00 PM.
This concert is FREE and open to the public thanks to many great sponsors and donations. Find a Duck Jam bucket and drop a few bucks in to keep the series going!
Bring your own lawn chairs, picnic blankets, food, and drinks (alcohol is allowed, but open containers must stay within the perimeter of the stage). The Winfield Lion's Club and Soroptimists of Winfield will be selling food in the Soroptimist Pavilion just south of the stage.
"At each show, Grits & Greens showcases a diverse set of skills as front woman Ryann McGhee shines with powerful and precise vocals, commanding guitar licks and immersive keyboard soundscaping. Accompanying her on lead guitar is her husband, Jesse McGhee, who demonstrates artful mastery of the slide guitar mixed with lightning fast standard tuning guitar licks inspired by the likes of Jerry Garcia and David Gilmour. Rounding out the low end is Jake Noble on the bass guitar who exhibits the intuitive ability to blend sitting back and playing in the pocket, with lead slap-bass solos similar to the complex and mind-bending work of Les Claypool. Jackson Bounds ties it all together on the drums with his explosive and unique percussive style while flaunting an infectious energy behind the kit.
As if their individual talents weren’t enough, the band features soaring three part vocal harmonies. But their lyrics are what truly set them apart; sharing stories that are personal, playful, and perfectly satirical. Gathering influence from artists like The Allman Brothers, Phish, and Black Sabbath, the band delivers a familiar sound with their own unique and mesmerizing spin.
The obvious love that the band has for each other, as well as playing music, is beautifully exemplified by their warm stage presence and tight performances. This bond keeps their performances fresh and ever-exploratory, always leaving the listeners wanting more."
