Garrett LeBeau - Rise To The Grind (CD)

Austin's Garrett Lebeau releases his debut full-length album 'Rise to the Grind' on Music Road Records, featuring 11 unclassifiable tracks that seamlessly blend elements of R&B, blues, folk and rock, tied together with soul and grounded in impeccable groove. Lebeau was born and raised on the Wind River Indian Reservation near Lander, WY and is an enrolled member of the Shoshone tribe. While his mostly isolated, rural upbringing played a formative role in his creative development, his music is far from being defined by his backstory. His sound is truly his own. Lebeau's sound often draws comparisons to legendary artists like Van Morrison, Boz Scaggs, Al Green and J.J. Cale. On 'Rise to the Grind,' Lebeau is backed by a killer lineup of musicians, including Roscoe Beck (Leonard Cohen, Robben Ford) on bass, J.J Johnson (Tedeschi Trucks Band, John Mayer) on drums, Stefano Intelisano (Jason Mraz) on keyboards, and Red Young on B3 organ. Lebeau's lyrics often draw from his experiences on the Wind River Reservation, and touch on both personal subjects and deeper societal issues.
