The Grascals' Before Breakfast Heats Up Charts

 

The release finds the award-winning Bluegrassers at a career high point vocally and musically, and reviewers are hailing the band’s energy, focus and distinctive sound.  Roots Music Report calls the album “all-around superb,” while Nuts About Country notes the disc is “vibrant …  an absolutely delightful breath of fresh air.”  Midwest Record Recap dubs the project “killer stuff” and adds that it’s “sure to make new Bluegrass fans,” and Country Music People’s David Allan declares the project has “twelve exhilarating tracks.”  Additional reviews can be found in Terre Haute Tribune Star, Bluegrass Notes, Exclaim!, Digital Journal, Roughstock,  Music Matters Magazine and Stacy’s Music Row Report.  

 

Several influential websites premiered key tracks from BEFORE BREAKFAST earlier this week.  AXS.com premiered “Delia” while THE BOOT focused on the haunting “Demons.”  Roughstock debuted the delightfully menacing “Sleepin’ With The Reaper,” Bluegrass Today featured the lighthearted “Clear Corn Liquor” and Nashville Country Club spotlighted the vividly descriptive “Lonesome.”  The Bluegrass Situation streamed the disc in its entirety.   

 

The group features founders Terry Eldredge (lead vocals, guitar), Terry Smith (lead vocals, bass) and Danny Roberts (mandolin), plus longtime banjo ace Kristin Scott Benson, fiddler Adam Haynes and John Bryan (lead vocals/guitar).
