“If you haven’t had a chance to check out the band, don’t miss out. Gritzbach is one of the most accomplished guys in the area. He’s recorded four albums spanning 35 years on indie labels based everywhere from California to Chicago to Vermont and toured extensively at home and abroad in support of his music. Two of his albums enjoyed European releases.”

“George Gritzbach shared the bill with Provincetown musician Ruth Roberts, and the response was overwhelming; a crowd of just over 200 people squeezed into the small chapel for the concert. The volunteer staff prepared homemade baked goods and sandwiches. Cider, soda and coffee were served. The stage was lit with the beautiful wrought iron candelabra that held twelve candles each. Wooden cable spools from the electric company were gathered and used throughout the space for cozy candlelit tables. Over the summer the volunteer staff opened the coffeehouse doors every Friday night with entertainment being provided by musicians such as Peter Kaire, Bob Holmes, Lee Sills, Big Lost Rainbow, George Gritzbach and Ruth Roberts. Admission price in the early days was $2.00.”

"When The George Gritzbach Band hits the stage, the air sizzles with excitement. Up front: Gritzbach's smoky vocals, steamy harmonica, and shimmering guitar. Backing him up: Michael Critch works his keyboard into waves of R&B emotion, Rich Hill pumps the hottest bass lines this side of Willie Dixon, and groove master / drummer Bobby Alves drives the heart of the band. In demand as a high-energy R&B dance band strongly rooted in the blues, funk, and New Orleans, The George Grtizbach Band plays inventive takes on classics and a healthy helping of innovative originals. The band has opened for B.B. King, Eddie Money, and other greats." For a sample of their music, visit www.georgegritzbachmusic.com. Call for reservations. 508-394-7100

“George Gritzbach wore a killer grin for much of his band's concert last evening at Americaplatz. The playing often mimicked the guitarist's expression: brash, tangy and a tantalizing cut below nasty. There were times when Gritzbach's bottlenecking cut like an acetylene torch and stung like a hornet. He usually avoided grandstanding, keeping his patterns neat and relevant. Next to solos, rhythmic work can often be a chore, but Gritzbach kept his riffs catchy. He had a pleasing tendency to play a step behind the beat, under his mates.”
