Here we were, on the main stage, Friday evening, 6 June 2025!  In front of the Connecticut River Museum, Essex, CT.  Photos by Charlie Ipcar.

We’ll be one of the featured performers at this year’s CT Sea Music Festival in Essex,  CT.  6, 7, 8, 9 June.

We’ll celebrate our “Christmas” this coming Monday the 23d.  If you join us or off on travel, we hope that you’ll have a safe, happy, healthy season!

Merry Cliffmas!  We celebrated Cliff’s 80th birthday, with fantastic contributions and fanfare by our regular Gris family!

Our Halloween will be Monday the 28th!  Come dressed as you fav ghost, goolie, cosplay, whatever!

Cliff recently uncovered some photos from our 1990 amateur photo-shoot for a promotional article regarding a show we were about to do at the British Arts Museum in New Haven.  Bob Stepno wasn’t available for the photos but did do the the show with us.

With regrets, the band is taking this evening off.  Joseph reached out to indicate that he had lost his voice with a sinus issue, only to have Mike have a similar complaint.  Then Rick also was having issues including coughing… So we agreed to take the evening off.  We’ll be back for the next Monday!

Nice night even though it fell on a Sunday this year…

December is here and so, too, the yuletide season.  Remember that at the Gris, there will be “wandering carolers” in the establishment, so we start an hour later, playing from 9p to 11p.

Have a safe and exceedingly happy holiday season!  Join us during this month, and come back with the new year!  We’ll be off on Christmas but return New years Day!
