We’ll be releasing a new live album, “Live at Wellspring Studios” on February 11th and will be performing an album release show at Lizard Lounge in Cambridge, MA.

We’ll also be separately releasing an accompanying video of the entire performance at a later date. Pre-order the new album now on our Bandcamp page!
The Gravel Project is an eclectic bunch of talented players that bring an array of musical influences to the mix. ‘Many Miles Ahead’ is the band’s latest release and includes a barrage of elements from rock, jazz & blues to funk, Latin grooves and soul. The Gravel Project brings an intoxicating display of sound to the table on ‘Many Miles Ahead’ that will revitalize your ear drums.
The Gravel Project consists of guitarist-vocalist Andrew Gravel, his brother, keyboardist Jordan Gravel, drummer Dave Fox, and percussionist-vocalist Brandon Mayes. New album Many Miles Ahead blends classic rock, blues, and other old school influences into a chunky block of feisty nuggets, songs that introduce themselves by kicking down the door with exuberant musical muscle.
There will always be something special about a band playing music together live. With all the “bedroom” production music taking over the airwaves lately, some of that is becoming lost. The halt on live music over the past couple years definitely had an effect on that but some great bands, like our friends The Gravel Project, have been refining their live skills and are ready to tackle the stage again. New album Many Miles Ahead set for release on February 19th is an example of what a live band is supposed to sound like.
A vinyl, compact disc and digital pre-order for the upcoming album Many Miles Ahead is now available for purchase! All of the singles from the album, "Big Deep Blue," "No More Fire," "Saving up my Love" and "Facts and Fiction" are ready for immediate listening upon each pre-order purchase. The album will be released on Saturday, February 19th with a release show at The Fallout Shelter, Norwood, MA and a second show Friday, February 25th at Theatre in the Wood, Intervale, NH.
Pre-order for Many Miles Ahead is currently available on vinyl, compact disc and digital formats!
We’ll be releasing our long awaited new album, “Many Miles Ahead” 2/19/22!

We’ll be performing two album release shows in support of the new record: 2/19 at The Fallout Shelter in Norwood, MA and 2/25 at Theatre in the Wood in Intervale, NH. Tickets are on sale now for both shows! We’ll also be announcing a vinyl pre-order sale soon.
The Gravel Project is an outstanding Boston ensemble that delivers some rocking blues and funk. The band is the brainchild of guitarist, composer, and singer Andrew Gravel and brother, Hammond B3 organist and composer, Jordan Gravel. The current lineup includes Dave Fox on drums and Brandon Mayes on percussion and vocals. The Gravel Project released their second full length album, Wishful Thinking, in 2017 and a ferocious live recording, Live at Village Fest, in 2018.
Recently, The Gravel Project have released several singles in anticipation of a new album release in 2021. The first single released earlier this year was the latin infused funky “Facts and Fiction”. Andrew’s vocals are spot on and Jordan’s keyboards are powerful and compelling. The driving guitar solo is pure electric dynamite. The entire tune has a commanding cadence that flows like a speeding freight train. The lyrics are very poignant. They channel the media, political discontent and divisive misinformation that is currently the norm.
The Gravel Project ‘s newest single, “Big Deep Blue”, is a bluesy romp with an intoxicating beat. Andrews’s vocals are again perfectly matched to the essence of the song. The musicianship is exceptional with waves of soulful rhythms cascading through the air. The funky guitar and dynamic rippling keyboards are definitely highlights. Fox’s drums and Mayes’ percussion drop a solid backbeat. Love lost takes center stage but heartache has never sounded so good.
If these two songs are any indication of The Gravel Project‘s new record, they’re going to hit a home run.
Andrew Gravel was kind enough to answer a few questions about the band. (Click link to read full article)
