GIG International, Long Beach, CA
New Blues Revolution performs at top nightclubs, concerts and festivals in Europe and the United States including the House of Blues in West Hollywood and Disneyland - at the Sunset Strip venue, they set a box office record.
Television appearances include live satellite broadcasts from New York City to prime-time television in Spain and from Long Beach to Houston. Broadcast performances in major U.S. television markets (UPN in Los Angeles) confirm the appeal of the band's music across the U.S. Los Angeles television appearances include KNBC, KCAL, KCOP and KMEX. An interview and screening of their music video were featured on the top-rated morning show in Los Angeles.
Forging a unique, distinctive style featuring Bill Grisolia's piano and vocals and Chap Cooper’s guitar, British-born Nigel Godden on drums and Jeff Brookmeyer on bass, they bring exciting showmanship to a mix of high-energy New Blues numbers and ballads - deep modern rocky but soulful!
A favorite of critics, The New Blues Revolution receives rave reviews from national trade magazines such as Cashbox and Music Connection. Editor of Cashbox, Fred Goodman, describes the material: “The material has a Billy Joel/early Springsteen sound and feel to it with strong hooky melodies in abundance.”
Music Connection describes the show: “When you see this powerhouse band you’ll be entertained by the likes of Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen, Marc Cohn and at times a cry of the Stones’ Exile on Main Street. On the other hand, the original sounds and stage presence places Bill Grisolia and company in a category of their own. When it’s time to rock, no messin’ around - they rock with counterblows - yet the ballads come off smooth and well-written"
New Blues Revolution opens for diverse musical legends such as Tab Benoit, Macy Gray, Dionne Warwick, Rick Derringer, Johnny Mathis, Burt Bacharach, Leon Russell, Blood Sweat & Tears, Three Dog Night, Eddie Money, Katey Segal, Michael Shenker and many more. Bill's song "Rosarita" was honored at the Hollywood TalentFest and Bill's songwriting is repeatedly lauded by the legendary Hal David. NBR has been nominated for both the Los Angeles and Orange County Music Awards.
