Grits & Greens @ Preservation Pub
What do you get when you blend:
the southern grit of Allman Brothers Band, 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. Through the generosity of their loyal fan-base, the band was afforded the opportunity to visit the legendary Fame Studios in Muscle Shoals, AL in early January 2026 where they recorded what they feel is their best work yet. The first single from their time in Muscle Shoals, “Answers,” is set to release on April 21st, 2026.
Grits & Greens is making their Knoxville debut on Thursday, April 30th. Entry is free until 7pm. Show starts at 9pm
